Career
In his earliest international outing, Fredericks won a bronze medal in the 110 metres hurdles and a silver medal in the 400 m hurdles at the 2006 Gymnasiade.[1] He was fifth in the 400 m event at the 2007 World Youth Championships in Athletics and improved to fourth place at the 2008 World Junior Championships.[2][3] Later that year he ran at the 2008 Commonwealth Youth Games, coming second in the 110 m hurdles and helping the South African 4×400 metres relay team to fourth place.[4] In his final year of junior competitions, he won both the hurdles events at the 2009 African Junior Athletics Championships as well as a silver medal in the relay.[5]
He came second in the 400 m hurdles at the 2009 South African Championships behind Wouter le Roux and won the national universities title. As a result, he competed at the 2009 Summer Universiade where he finished fourth in a personal best of 49.93 seconds.[6] The 2010 season saw him established himself as a senior athlete. He won first national title in the 400 m hurdles with a clocking of 49.70 seconds. He improved his personal best several times that year, culminating in a run of 48.79 seconds to take the silver medal at the 2010 African Championships in Athletics, completing a South African 1–2 alongside the event winner L.J. van Zyl.[7]
Fredericks was beaten by van Zyl at the 2011 South African Championships, but left the competition with a significant improvement on his personal best (48.14 seconds).[8] On the circuit he was runner-up at the Doha Diamond League meeting and won in Tampere and at the KBC Night of Athletics.[9] Fredericks entered the 2011 World Championships in Athletics as the fifth fastest 400 m hurdler of the year and he matched this ranking with a fifth-place finish in the 400 m hurdles world final.[10][11]
He regained his national title in 2012, and then won it again in 2013 and 2014.[12]
In 2012 Fredericks's coach Bruce Longden died, and Fredericks suffered a hamstring tear in the heats of the 2012 Olympics.[13]
In July 2014, he won the gold medal in the 2014 Commonwealth Games, and then in August, he won the African Championships in the 400 m hurdles.[12][14][15] That year he also won the 400 m hurdles at the Continental Cup,[16] and ran the second fastest time that year (48.25).[17]
His 2015 season was blighted by an achilles injury and a hamstring tear, which caused him to withdraw from the World Championships.[17]
