WATCH: The best run so far at the Olympics as the 400m hurdles World Record is smashed

Before the Tokyo Olympics started it was assumed by many that World Records would be few and far between on the track.

Without a crowd to pump up track athletes, blistering times would surely be too much to expect?

Someone forgot to tell Norway’s Karsten Warholm.

Warholm, having already broken the World Record at the start of July in his own country did it again on the biggest stage.

He became the first person to break the magical 46-second mark stopping the clock at 45.94.

It prompted Channel 7 commentator to label it the best run of the Olympics and he compared it to Michael Johnson’s magical runs in the 90s and at Sydney 2000.
