With World Championship titles and the 400-metre hurdles world record in his possession, there is only one jewel left for Karsten Warholm to add to his athletics crown: Olympic gold.
"You have to be at a world-record level to be able to compete for a gold medal in Tokyo," Warholm told reporters in the lead up to the Games. "There is no doubt about that. But what the time is going to be, that's hard to tell - and only time will show."
"You need to be at your a-level and to do all the right things, both in practice and in competition," he said. "It was really special." "The 400-metre hurdles is all of a sudden a very, very competitive race," said Warholm. "You always got to have your competitors in the back of your mind because they are there and they want my position."
