Despite finishing second in his semi-final, Warholm remains confident about the competition. He stated that finishing second was part of his strategy, and he is excited about the prospect of an outside lane in the final.
Rai Benjamin, who also made it to the final, is another strong contender. Benjamin previously prevailed when he met Warholm and Dos Santos at the Paris Olympics last year. He is hoping for another close competition in the final of the event.
Alison dos Santos, the gold medalist from the 2022 World Championships in Oregon, will also be a formidable opponent. Dos Santos won the gold medal with a time of 47.42 seconds, a testament to his prowess in the event.
The final of the men's 400-meter hurdles is scheduled for Friday. Warholm, Benjamin, and Dos Santos are the three athletes to watch out for in this highly anticipated world news event. Warholm, who has expressed hope for a historic race in the final, is aiming for a favorable outcome for himself.
In the pursuit of another world record, Warholm will be looking to better his own time of 45.94 seconds, a mark he set at the Olympics in 2021. Benjamin's time of 46.19 seconds is the next best, making the final a thrilling prospect for athletics fans around the world.
As the countdown to the final begins, Warholm has been 'chilling' for the second half of the semi-final but he is ready for the competition on Friday. With his eyes set on the gold medal, Warholm is determined to put up a strong performance and make history in the men's 400-meter hurdles final.
