Alison Dos Santos wins 400m gold at South American Games
Brazilian athlete Alison Dos Santos has completed a remarkable season, transitioning from his signature 400m hurdles to the 400m flat. Earlier in the season, Dos Santos set a new world record in the 400m hurdles with a time of 45.80 seconds in Zurich. He also became the first man to run under 46 seconds in the event twice in his career, recording a 45.98 in Budapest.
