Warholm falls short again
Print Edition
Norway’s Karsten Warholm came up just short again in his latest bid to claim Kevin Young’s 28-year old world record in the 400 meters hurdles as a light breeze and late stutter blew him off course at the Ostrava Golden Spike meeting in the Czech Republic on Tuesday. The double world champion, 24, missed his chance for Olympic glory this year with the postponement of the Tokyo Games so instead has focused on the long-standing world record — getting within a tenth of a second of it in Stockholm two weeks ago. He had announced his intention to have another go on Tuesday and though he won easily, his 47.62 seconds time was almost a second off American Young’s mark of 46.78 set at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. Organizers brought Warholm’s event forward by 90 minutes due to concerns over increasing wind but it was still a touch breezy, a condition that affected his performance.
