Karsten Warholm has kicked off the Diamond League season by becoming the first official world record holder in the men’s 300m hurdles.<\/b><\/p>\n

The seldom-run race was held at a Diamond League meet for the first time on Saturday – a month after World Athletics said it would become an official event with its own world record.<\/p>\n

This year’s 15-meet series began in Xiamen, China, where world 400m hurdles champion Warholm won in 33.05 seconds.<\/p>\n

The former Olympic champion, who also holds the world record for the 400m hurdles, beat Brazil’s Matheus Lima (33.98) and Japan’s Ken Toyoda (34.22).<\/p>\n

The Norwegian’s time was an improvement on the previous world best of 33.26, which the 29-year-old ran in 2021.<\/p>\n

Great Britain’s Jeremiah Azu<\/b> came third in the men’s 100m with a time of 10.17, missing out to South Africa’s Akani Simbine (9.99) and Kenya’s Ferdinand Omanyala (10.13).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
