Karsten Warholm 47.08 in Monaco.

Agree with the commentators. He looked tired. Will be interesting to see what rounds do to him.

In his favor is it’s a very top-heavy event. He can probably run 49 in the first round and advance easily even with way more sub-48 guys this year than usual. Semis will be way more competitive

He needs to be careful about tiring himself out before the Olympics. The body only has so many "top" performances in it. He needs to be careful about using them all up before the Olympics.

You need that to support a common sense observation?

Letsrun child's logic. Athlete is 0.32 short of the WR he set, therefore, he's done. Then, the height of hilarity, said comedian offers sage advice to the WR holder.

I'd like to say I've seen it all, but this happens every day at the LRC kindergarten.

I'm sure that Karsten Warholm cried himself to sleep Friday night because he only ran the 10th fastest time EVER in the event. Or maybe he was lamenting the fact that because he was denied sleep the previous night due to drunken revelers outside his hotel window, he could ONLY muster a 47.08 for the win this year in Monaco.

In this list of the top 20 performances ever, the 2021 times are shown in bold, and Warholm's run on Friday is also shown in italics.

I do hope that he and Rai Benjamin go head-to-head in Tokyo (and that each gets a good night's sleep beforehand).
