What the hell happened to ME man Karsten Warholm in the WC final? An important note from an expert about the competition’s level of requirements: “Warholm was not ready”

The fifth final day of the World Championships saw race records and surprise winners.

In the men’s 400 meter hurdles, Norway won two world championships and an Olympic gold medal Karsten Warholm literally dethroned. Brazil stole the spotlight Alison dos Santoswho ran a wild race record of 46.29.

He improved his record by no less than 43 hundredths. Dos Santos was 35 hundredths short of Warholm’s world record run from last year’s Olympic final. In addition to Warholm, the Brazilian has run harder than the USA Ray Benjamin (46,17).

Benjamin was second in the World Cup final with a season’s best of 46.89 ahead of his compatriot Trevor Bassittwho broke his record by 47.39.

At 300 meters, Warholm, who was in the World Championship gold fight, collapsed violently in the final straight to seventh place with a time of 48.42. Warholm’s run looked stiff throughout the final.

The star runner injured his hamstring at the beginning of the summer, which kept him sidelined from competition until the World Championships.

– Warholm was not ready for that competition. Dos Santos’s 46.29 is such a time that even if Karsten had been in his best condition, he would have had to go hard, ‘s expert Tuomas Raja says.

A competition record was also seen in the men’s puck race. 23 year old from Slovenia Kristjan Ceh would capture the winning score of 71.13 in the third round. The previous record at the World Championships was Virgilius Aleknan 70.17 thrown in 2005 in Helsinki.

Ceh, who was in top form, still shook in the fifth round with 70.51. His record is 71.27 thrown in May.

The top two were very young, as the 20-year-old from Lithuania won the World Cup silver Mykolas Alekna with a hard result of 69.27. This is Virgilijus Alekna’s son.

Lithuania’s celebration was completed by the bronze medal thrower Andrius Gudzius with a result of 67.55. Aiming for another world championship Daniel Ståhl was disappointed.

Last year’s Olympic champion Ståhl threw over 69 meters in the third round, but the result was later marked as rejected due to overstepping.

– I tried to download again after that. On the fourth and fifth throws I tried to get my guts back, but this is sports. This is how it is. A bit boring, Ståhl lamented.

The men’s 1500m world championship was set before the World Championships in Norway To Jakob Ingebrigtsen. After all, he had won the Olympic gold in the distance last year.

However, the opposite happened. 28 year old from Great Britain Jake Wightman beat the Norwegian star in a hard-fought battle. Wightman broke the world record with a time of 3:29.23. Ingebrigtsen also ran well, who ran her season’s best 3:29.47.

The entire top five of the race came from Europe. Spain was third Mohamed Katir in time 3:29.90.

For the 21-year-old Ingebrigtsen, who has achieved almost everything, silver is the first World Cup medal in her career on outdoor tracks.

The women’s height competition was of a very high standard. Before the World Cup, only Ukraine Jaroslava Mahutshih (203) had crossed the two-meter mark this outdoor track season. There were three more in the World Cup final.

In addition to Mahutsih, who entered the race as the gold favorite, 200 surpassed Australia Eleanor PattersonItaly Elena Vallortigara and Ukraine Irina Herachenko.

Among them, Patterson and Mahutshihih exceeded the height of 202. Neither cleared the height of 204, so the victory was marked for the 26-year-old Australian with a better record.

Vallortigara took the bronze before Herachenko, who set his record.

The World Cup silver was already the second of the 20-year-old Mahutsih’s career. He won the MM indoor gold last winter and the Olympic bronze last summer.
