The Norwegian Karsten Warholm is both a world record holder and reigning champion on 400 meters hurdles.
However, the 28-year-old failed to defend his Olympic Games gold from Tokyo 2021.
At Stade de France, he had to settle for silver, after being overtaken by American Rai Benjamin who won with a time of 46.46.
Of course, I had gold in mind when that's what I'm used to taking. At the same time, I'm not good enough today. A silver medal is also something to be satisfied with, says Warholm to Max according to the Norwegian news agency NTB.
The bronze went to Alison dos Santos, Brazil.
