The 29-year-old is the 2018, 2022, and 2024 European champion. Warholm is the first athlete ever to win three 400m hurdles events at the World Championships and also is a two-time Diamond League champion.
In 2021, he was voted World Athletics Male Athlete of the Year.
Why Matheus Lima is a threat
)
Even though the top three 400m hurdles athletes currently are Warholm, Rai Benjamin who missed the Shanghai edition, and Alison dos Santos (Brazil), Lima is a threat going forward.
At 21, the Brazilian's career is on the ascendency and his consistency over various distances should worry his rivals. Lima boasts a personal best of 21.28 in 200m set in 2022.
Last year in Sao Paulo, he clocked 44.52 in 400m and has also managed 33.98 in 300m that he achieved in Xiamen in 2025.
