Warholm got advice from the world record holder - did the opposite

It was in an article in front of the 400 meter hurdles that Kevin Young, who holds the world record of 46.78, said that he thought Warholm was going too hard at the start of the race.

"When you get tired, the hedges go from 36 inches to 37.38.39 inches ... it looks like the hedges are getting taller," he told NRK.

And the article reached Warholm, who took part in it during the warm-up. But listening to the legend, there wasn't a thought to do.

- All due respect to him, but I will do it my way. My way is to run fast in the beginning. I do not think it is possible to run slowly in the beginning and catch it at the end, he tells NRK.

And doing his own thing worked well for the Norwegian. He ran for the first time in under 47 seconds when he finished in 46.92, which was the second fastest time of all time.
