# Karsten Warholm wins record fourth European 400m hurdles title 2026-08-15T00:29:03+00:00 | Sports | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Norway's Karsten Warholm stormed to a record fourth European 400m hurdles title in Birmingham on Friday, clocking a championship record of 46.63 seconds at Alexander Stadium. He led from the start, building a 20-metre lead by the home stretch, and pushed through the line for a dominant victory. Germany's Emil Agyekum took silver in 47.87, and Turkey's Ismail Nezi bronze in 48.26. Warholm, who set the world record of 45.94 seconds at the Tokyo Olympics, also anchored Norway's winning 4x400m mixed relay earlier this week. He has now won European titles in 2018, 2022, 2024 and 2025, surpassing German Harald Schmid's previous record of three. Since the 2016 Olympics, Warholm has been beaten by only one European, France's Wilfried Happio at the 2022 world championships. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com Tags: 400m hurdles, Birmingham, European Athletics Championships, Karsten Warholm, Norway Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/karsten-warholm-wins-record-fourth-european-400m-hurdles-title/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
