Karsten Warholm.
Just five days after being pushed down a place on the world 400m hurdles all-time list, Norwegian star Karsten Warholm responded in sensational style to smash Kevin Young’s long-standing world record, clocking 46.70 at the Oslo Bislett Games, this season’s fourth Wanda Diamond League meeting on Thursday.
Speaking at the pre-event press conference, the two-time world champion had highlighted the impact of top-class rivalries. “Your competitors are what really push you towards bigger things,” he said. “If it was only me running quick times, I wouldn’t need to push it any further, but with people there running fast times, I need to take a step up as well.”

There’s nothing quite like being bumped down the world all-time list to fire up an athlete.
Perhaps that’s just the impetus Karsten Warholm needed ahead of the Oslo Bislett Games on Thursday (1) when he will make his 2021 Wanda Diamond League debut.
The two-time world champion has come close to the world 400m hurdles record of 46.78 on several occasions over the past two years. He has twice broken 47 seconds and owns five other performances within half a second of Kevin Young’s long-standing mark.
