the track of it ten hurdles but the spotlight is firmly on two of
the most dynamic runners
this event has ever seen
the world record watch is officially on in the men's four
hundred meter hurdles final as rai Benjamin and constable home
get set
for the biggest race of their lives here in Tokyo
when Carsten Warhol has lane choice on the regular season
he picks an outside lane he has the outside lane here in six
seven is as performative but lane
but Espana said we know how this is going to go Carsten war
home is going to go at breakneck speed for as long as
he can and certainly to three hundred
that
the
men's
final is white right and with the white band on
and that's Carson one moment late six
off to that start that we expected to ride Benjamin not
let him get too far ahead if you look at getting
so why Benjamin has all the flats beat the cost of the war
home has the strength
and right now he has a lead
right Benjamin is letting this get away from him a little bit
but now we start the real warm back in
this
is
the
event by Kevin young lasted almost twenty nine years I'm
not the world records been broken twice in over a month
but more significantly
he has taken this event somewhere that we didn't think
it would be for decades
under forty six seconds
are you kidding me
we are so fortunate we are witnessing
three pastry these two men went to bed last night
what the world expected and they did not disappoint they
are champions but we don't want us to
what we just saw we might never see again
that was
the main one
I don't just insane so here's the best part of what we just
saw
these two are just twenty four and twenty five years of age
Warhol was never going to deviate from the script
that has seen him win tool world championships
and set
world records he was going to go out hard right Benjamin you
see into the right of your picture
trying to stay in his pattern he did that
but Sonya it was on this floor turn that I felt like now
right Benjamin let Karsten get too far ahead
and you see that he tries to make a move there
was enough to cover
but the pace that he was running
right Benjamin had never been in that status but neither one
of these men had been
the front
this race in forty five seconds is on imaginable I can't
imagine that I'm alive to see somebody out there remember
forty six seventy eight twenty eight years and now we're
already under forty six I'm just glad I'm here
see somebody run under forty six seconds with ten barriers
in his way but these two what is ahead
for both of them
is just on imaginable still because they're still very
young and Sonya so talented so as we gather else
let's do the rest of it that's an American and personal record
for rai Benjamin silver medal and his first Olympic Games
Allison distintas
sets also
a record a south American record and gets bronze
and let's not take anything away from what right did rod
broke the old record
by a huge margin as well but look at him he's just so soft
it was billed as the race of the games and it has not
disappointed in fact it is shocked us all incredible
a colossal performance
from Norway's Costa more home
has taken the sport to a space that it has never seen
we have just witnessed something truly special
and I'm not sure
the Norwegian
in his mid twenties
can fathom what he has just done
