TOKYO: It was difficult for American Rai Benjamin to comprehend how he ended up finishing second best despite running a massive half a second inside the existing world record in the men's 400 metres hurdles final at the Tokyo Olympics on Tuesday.
"If you would have told me I would run 46.1 and lose, I would probably beat you up," Benjamin later said."I'd tell you to get out of my room. Brazilian Alison Dos Santos was also close to Warholm's previous record as he picked up bronze in 46.72.Benjamin said Tuesday's 400m final will probably go down as the best race in the history of the Games.
"This was probably the best race... in Olympic history. I don't even think Usain Bolt's topped that. 45.9, man; 46.1 and I lost. The nature of the beast.
