Thank you for the links, Trond. As a hurdler in HS, watching what's been happening over the last few years has been very exciting.

Random: Initially, I was wondering why Conan O'Brien was on the homepage, but it was KW.

You're welcome.

As for the Conan O'Brien part, haha I thought the same!

Africa needs to recover this.

We are not going to stand this shame by a Nordic that walk on snow.

Thank you to you and Podcast 2021 for the You tube links.

Absolutely legend run.

great run, but that world record by Young was something else-that and the Butch Reynolds WR in '88 breaking Lee Evans 43.86-I remember where I was then!

Impressive how smooth Young was and how he perfectly paced it. even hit the last hurdle!

Anyone know what this would conver to a flat 400m time? I would think at least sub 45?

Warholm has already run 44.8, which he should probably be well under at this point

It’s amazing the gap he had on Santos, who is my pick for bronze in Tokyo

He was getting so close last year on numerous occasions that it was almost inevitable he would do this, but it may have taken Rai's near record last week to get him the sense of urgency to get him over the top even in cool conditions. It will be fun to see these guys go back and forth into the mid-46s the rest of this year.

WOW!!

The 400H is going to be the race to watch. The WR will be lowered in Tokyo. By who is the question.

Warholm or Benjamin is probably going 46.50 this year

Called this. He’s the best of the big three. Love the way he goes after it. He isn’t done with this record.

I’d like to see Grant Holloway try his hand at this double or just train a year for this event. He’s ran a 43 second relay split in the 400 and we know he’s the best Hurdler in world pretty much. He’s such an all around phenom I think he could take this record. Maybe if he breaks 12.80 at the Olympics he’ll take the next two years to try and mess around and break this one as well. I think he’s the only feasible what if scenario. Not like you can take Norman and teach him to hurdle. Holloway tho has it all.

Love how Warholm runs. He goes out as hard as he can. Keeps the foot on the gas the entire time and when he tires he tires. Love it. As much as I hate to say it Rai will not be able to run him down in the last 100ms and that’s what it would take.

Question. How is he and other hurdlers capable of leading with the same leg every time and Sydney cant? I understand their stride lengths are different but is that a normal thing for 400m hurdlers to switch lead legs if they need to or is that just her weird thing?

46.7!

Rai will get it back next week though (:

Except for the fact that he never had it to begin with.

Are you ready for Norwegian gold in the 400H, 1500m and also men's triathlon?!

Hoping WADA sets up another hq in Norway after August

Kerron Clement didn't know what struck him in London 2017. He was not taking that loss lightly. Turns out it was inevitable. It's a young men's game.

The fun thing is, there will be two men below that time within a week :)

Ditt trekk Benjiman

I'll admit I was wrong about Warholm. When he one the world title in 2017 I had written it off as just one of the many weird flukish results of that sh**y ass Championship.

Of course now he's on track to become the best at the discipline since Moses.

Know that it's finally fallen one has to ask if Young would still hold the record if he hadn't clipped that final hurdle.
