Before Betting On Olympics Men’s 400m Hurdles Winner
The Men’s 400m Hurdles is one of the longest hurdle races in the world, and is the longest on the Olympics program. It is one of the most coveted prizes in the event, and is has been contested in every Olympics since returning to the Games in 1984. The Men’s Olympic record was set by Karsten Warholm in Tokyo, finishing in a staggering time of 45.94.
Warholm appears to be the standout place to start when assessing the leading contenders this year, as he finally arrived on the global stage with his gold medal success three years ago. The Norwegian continued his dominance by winning gold at the World Championships last year, and retains the world record time over the distance.
However, American hopes this summer will be on the progressive Rai Benjamin, who has already won silver medals at the Olympics and two World Championships. His personal best time was recorded at the Olympics when finishing second behind Warholm, but his performances this season highlight that there could be more to come.
The young contender for the top prize this summer will be Brazilian Alison dos Santos. The 24-year-old was the Diamond League champion in 2022 in the 400m Hurdles, and he was the top-ranked athlete in the event last year. He was also the gold medallist at the World Championships in the event in 2022, and he could be the surprise package in the hurdles events this year.
