Brazil's Alison Dos Santos Breaks Men's 400-Meter Hurdles World Record
- On Thursday, Brazil's Alison Dos Santos smashed the men's 400m hurdles world record at the Zurich Diamond League, clocking 45.80 seconds to beat Karsten Warholm's 2021 Tokyo Olympics mark of 45.94 seconds.
- The 26-year-old Dos Santos has long been one of the few men capable of toppling Warholm, surging clear off the final bend to extend his perfect head-to-head record against the Norwegian to five victories this season.
- Leaving Zurich with $80,000, Dos Santos said, "I did it for everybody," crediting his coach for helping him develop both as an athlete and a person.
- Joining the record-breaking spree, American Masai Russell set a world record of 12.09 in the women's 100m hurdles, while Saint Lucia's Julien Alfred won the women's 100m in 10.70 seconds.
- These record-breaking performances serve as a statement ahead of next month's World Athletics Ultimate Championships, where athletes are shifting their focus toward the upcoming global competition.
