Two-time World Championships gold medallist Karsten Warholm posted a stunning 33.78 seconds world best in the 300m hurdles in the Impossible Games of the Wanda Diamond League in Oslo on Thursday.

No crowd.
No competition.
Just pure athleticism.

Relive @kwarholm’s 33.78 300m hurdles world best.

Norwegian star athlete Warholm lit up the exhibition event at the unusually empty Bislett Stadium. Warholm, who won 400m hurdles gold at the 2017 and 2019 World Championships, was the sole competitor in his race.

Warholm’s time was well within the previous mark of 34.48s, set by Great Britain’s Chris Rawlinson in 2002, and under Kevin Young’s 400m world record split (34.1s).
