Karsten Warholm wins 'best race in Olympic history' as he breaks 400m hurdles world record
CNN
It started the way his races often do -- a slap of the chest, a pump of the fist, and a roar to the camera -- but ended like none have done before.
As Karsten Warholm crossed the finish line of the men's Olympic 400-meter hurdles final and registered the numbers on the stadium clock, his face turned to a mixture of exhaustion, elation and disbelief. The Norwegian's time of 45.94 seconds in Tokyo on Tuesday is likely to shift perceptions of what is possible in this event as he held off the USA's Rai Benjamin and shattered his own world record by more than half a second.More Related News
