Karsten Warholm Plans to Skip Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony

Posted : 24 July 2024

One of the most memorable moments from the Covid-delayed Tokyo Olympics was Karsten Warholm's iconic celebration after breaking the world record in the men's 400m hurdles. The Norwegian stunned the athletics world with a remarkable time of 45.94 seconds, a feat that many 400m flat runners would find challenging, even without the hurdles. Following this triumph, Warholm continued his dominance by securing his third consecutive European title in Rome in June with a time of 46.98 seconds.

 

Despite his success, Warholm joked that the dramatic shirt-ripping celebration will be reserved for the Paris Olympics. Reflecting on the evolving landscape of the 400m hurdles, Warholm noted the event’s increased prominence due to heightened rivalries and improved performances, which have brought new energy to this demanding track and field discipline.

 

The Norwegian athlete faces fierce competition from Brazil’s Alison Dos Santos and American Rai Benjamin, both of whom have delivered strong performances recently. Dos Santos achieved a notable victory over Warholm at the Bislett Games in Oslo, while Benjamin won in Monaco. These results have intensified the anticipation for their showdown at the Paris Games.

 

Warholm is focused on preparing for Paris and acknowledged the pressure of recent defeats. He emphasized that his training is going well and expressed confidence in his ability to compete at the highest level. Warholm remains singularly focused on winning gold in Paris, viewing the Olympics as a critical moment in his career and leaving sightseeing for later.
