World Athletics Championships 2023: Warholm back on top of world with 400m hurdles gold

The Hindu  

Karsten Warholm of Norway returned to the top of the global medal podium, racing to his third victory in the 400-metres hurdles at the World Athletics Championships on Wednesday. “I fought all I could in the last 100 metres.” Kyron McMaster won silver in 47.34 to earn the first world championships medal for the British Virgin Islands. It was just tough.” Warholm, running out of Lane 7, and Benjamin, on his inside in Lane 6, hit through the first seven hurdles in perfect synchronization before the Norwegian found another gear. But I also have it in the toolbox when needed.” Warholm’s time of 45.94 in Tokyo obliterated his own world record, but since tearing his hamstring six weeks before last year’s worlds, he has had to make a steady climb back to the top.
