AP Top NewsGeneral NewsKarsten WarholmSportsTrack and field Olympic Champion Warholm Reacts to Protesters Disrupting His 400-Meter Hurdles Race by Andrew Wright July 3, 2023 written by Andrew Wright July 3, 2023 0 comments Bookmark 47 Karsten Warholm, the Olympic champion, emerged victorious in the 400-meter hurdles race on Sunday. However, his celebration was momentarily overshadowed when he, along with the crowd, expressed their disapproval towards environmental protesters who caused a disturbance near the finish line during the Diamond League event. As the race neared its conclusion, three individuals knelt on the track approximately eight meters from the finish line, brandishing two large banners that spanned across lanes one to six. This unexpected obstruction forced the runners to break through the barriers, though no athlete sustained any injuries. While Warholm, positioned in lane eight, faced no physical impediments, he appeared visibly distracted by the incident. Furthermore, a fourth individual, seemingly a protester, was spotted squatting in lane seven, apparently capturing photographs of the commotion. The Norwegian star’s frustration was evident as the protesters were escorted away, accompanied by boos from the spectators. In a subsequent interview with the national broadcaster NRK, Warholm expressed his displeasure, labeling the protest as disrespectful to athletes who were simply performing their duties. Warholm completed the race with a winning time of 47.57 seconds, despite the cool and rainy conditions. Nevertheless, this fell short of his remarkable world record time of 45.94 seconds, achieved during the Tokyo Olympics two years prior. It was an unconventional evening for Warholm, who disclosed that he had warmed up in a downtown Stockholm parking garage. He explained that this was to ensure he arrived at the starting line in a dry and warm condition.
