ULSTEINVIK (NOR): Karsten Warholm admitted that clipping the tenth hurdle in the Stockholm Diamond League where he clocked the European record of 46.87 could have cost him the world record of 46.78, informs CNN Sport. “Being really happy and really disappointed at the same time – it’s a weird feeling. I was really, really happy of course with the race in itself. But stumbling into the last hurdle and just looking at the time, knowing that most likely I spoiled my chances of a world record right there…I think I’ve never felt that way before.” On the race for the world record, Warholm compared it to the space race: “I think in 400m hurdles we are in for a real treat because everybody wants this right now. I think it’s going to be like the moon race between the United States and Russia – it’s going to be crazy.”
Wow, Karston Warholm wins 400m hurdles in Stockholm in 46.87 sec – jut 0.09 off Kevin young’s world record – despite clattering into the last hurdle
