Warholm sets 300m hurdles world record in Diamond League opener
Karsten Warholm broke the 300m hurdles world record on Saturday at the opening Diamond League meeting of the season in Xiamen, taking 0.21 seconds off his own mark in the little-run event.
The 29-year-old Norwegian 400m world record holder crossed the finish line in a blistering 33.05 seconds.
Warholm, who won gold in the 400m hurdles at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and silver in Paris last year, obliterated his own previous world best of 33.26 set four years ago in Oslo.
Faith Kipyegon came within 0.23sec of breaking a decades-old world record in the women's 1000m, another non-Olympic distance, finishing in 2min 29.21sec.
"It went how I wanted just to start my season in a good way," said the Kenyan. "I wanted to do my personal best which was very close to the world record."
Swedish superstar Armand "Mondo" Duplantis won the pole vault comfortably with a jump of 5.92m, but failed with three attempts at 6.01 in a performance that never threatened his world record of 6.27 set in February.
