Alison dos Santos and Karsten Warholm 400m hurdles rivalry

Overview

The rivalry between Brazilian hurdler Alison dos Santos and Norwegian Karsten Warholm has intensified in the 400m hurdles. During a Diamond League meeting in Silesia, Poland, dos Santos secured a victory with a world-leading time of 46.43 seconds, defeating Warholm, who finished second in 46.52 seconds.

This result marked Warholm’s third consecutive loss to dos Santos. Despite these narrow defeats, Warholm’s coach, Leif Olav Alnes, stated that the athlete has maintained high levels of stability and speed. Warholm has expressed a commitment to addressing these marginal losses as competition remains extremely tight.

By the 2026 season, dos Santos, also known as ‘Piu’, established dominance by breaking the world record in the 400m hurdles with a time of 45.80 seconds in Zurich on August 27. This achievement made him the first Brazilian to break a track athletics world record in 28 years, surpassing Warholm’s previous mark of 45.94 seconds. He maintained an undefeated streak throughout the 2026 circuit, winning stages in Xiamen, Stockholm, Oslo, Silesia, and Zurich.

Dos Santos secured his third Diamond League championship at the final in Brussels, Belgium, finishing in 46.70 seconds. The competition featured Trevor Bassitt of the United States in second place and fellow Brazilian Matheus Lima in third. Karsten Warholm was absent from the final, reportedly due to financial disagreements with organizers.
