Wow!! 48.35. Brilliant run in cold riving rain.

He was impressive in Oslo, now backs it up.
Weather doping.
He rose to the occasion in lousy conditions when there was no one running sub 48. In the women's 400m, Francis broke 50, so it wasn't that bad, though tougher to do 400mH on a wet track. Maybe he can run 47.8 on a dry track, maybe slightly better. It seems he's lucky, though, to have competition very much down these days. Nevertheless, great job for the 20 year old(?).
lol. I was surprised he went out so aggressively in the cold conditions but it paid off.
Heia Warholm!
Nice! I hope he runs in Zurich in a couple of weeks. Norway has never medaled in 400 hurdles right/
He who dares wins same in 800m.

Hope so too. Remember this guy started focusing on the 400m hurdles last year. Had terrible technique (his european competitors laughed off him during warm up in the European Champs, nobody knew who he was, he won), and had previously been a decathlon athlete. He has a lot of improvement left.
What a stud! Can the Ingebritsens ever hope to top this? I don't think so, unless Jakob wins a steeple gold in 2019..
5 points for me, thanks Norge dude
I hope most people figured Clement would win
Yeah, it was a great performance and this takes the wind out of the inflated INGEBRIGTSEN bandwagon. Thankfully! None of them have anything like what Warholm just won.
So he's a 20 yo decathlete? And now starting to pick golds in every individual discipline?
Pity he isn't black. He could have become the new Bolt.

We are proud of all Norwegians that compete abroad not only an Ingebrigtsen familie. Pedersen, Hynne, Roe, Grøvdal, Skagestad, Moen, and Iuel have also our support

Indeed. Wanna know how he trained? On a cold, rainy small beach in Norway with no indoor facilities all winter.

He actually live in trains in Oslo with one of the best sprint coaches in the world who no one outside of Norway has ever heard of, Leif Olaf Alnes.
Did Clement ever come up and congratulate Karsten? If he didn't that's pretty classless I have NBC gold and I watched the whole scene afterwards and I didn't see it. The Turkish dude congratulated him.
Btw Karsten looks almost exactly like old pictures of my grandfather when he was young, even with the same haircut!!
I like his viking name.
"Karsten MF Warholm" Last time I checked "MF" was not Warholm's middle initials. Too many posts, including this subject line, are an embarrassment to our sport. I dropped off this site a couple of years ago because of the asinine and juvenile trolling that cluttered up this forum. Looks like things have not changed. Sad.
