Ha, when I saw and read the thread, I was like “wow! A new 400h world record…” Then I remembered the source, realized it was a 300h gimmick race and laughed at how stupid I was to get caught by one of Jamin’s late night manic troll threads. You got me…
Wait—Jamin is still among us?!?!

A multitude of reasons. It is not a highly competitive or widely followed discipline. It has been three contenders for the last few years. Here in Norway, hardly a soul from Hammerfest to Lindesnes could have named a 300 or 400m hurdle runner prior to the rise of Warholm. It is now followed here because a Norwegian excells. Not surprisingly, however, the multitude of nationalities that frequent this site, including Americans, aren't as interest as are our compatriots. He broke his own record, which is not as exciting as taking down old records. This website is also, and always has been, oriented toward distance running.
I thought letsrun actually was geared towards whining about women and posting about how bad Biden / Trump / take your pick of politicians are. 😉
300m Hurdles is not news worthy.
Run a real event next time.
Sprnters don't count.

Karsten's race was ridiculous and a world record on his home soil. He looked as if rocket booster engines turn on after clearing the last hurdle. Unreal.
When I saw it was 300m, I didn’t even click it. It makes the 2000m seem like a popular race. and. Track and Field News doesn’t even have an all-time llist for it.
Warholm's 300h was by far the superior performance. Rai Benjamin split 43.13 last year in the 4x4 and Warholm DESTROYED him.
Nico probably would have lost to George Mills if Mills sat and kicked instead of pushing the pace for a few laps.
Warholm is the world record holder in his event, any performance of his is likely to be superior to any performance by Young. Amazing running by both.

A quick comparison of 300m/400m records. I think that Warholms record will stand for some time. Relatively it seems to be a bit weaker than Tebogo's record but still a very nice time.
400m 43,03 -> 10,76 per 100m (Van Niekerk)
300m 30,69 -> 10,23 per 100m (Letsile Tebogo)
0,53 s difference per 100m400m hurdles 45,94 -> 11,49 per 100m
300m hurdles 32,67 -> 10,89 per 100m
0,50 s difference per 100m
11.49 - 10.89 = 0.60, not 0.50
Jane Henderson deserves it more than anyone. But the lrc site directors hate young women so that's not possible
