Norway's Karsten Warholm obliterates his own world record in the Olympic 400m hurdles, finishing in 45.94 seconds to break the old time by .76 seconds
The hype for this showdown started building at US Olympic trials in June, when Benjamin became only the fourth man to break 47 seconds with a run of 46.83 and pronounced he thought he had a low-46 in him.
“I made some mistakes on the backstretch that cost me a little,” Benjamin said, as he held his thumb and his index finger a tiny space apart. “But he's a great competitor. He runs really fast. You just have to get better.” Covering the distance between hurdles 13 powerful steps at a time, Warholm never came close to breaking stride. He sped over the line with arms-a-flailing, but that didn't cost him much.“Forty-seven would’ve been a record, or an Olympic record, four years ago, three years ago, eight years ago, whatever the case is," said McMaster, the fourth-place finisher. "But 47.08 doesn’t get you a medal” today.
