Alison Dos Santos of Brazil blazed down the homestretch to take the 400m hurdles title at the World Athletics Championships 2022. Dos Santos held off a decorated field that included the world-record holder. Dos Santos finished in a championship-record time of 46.29 seconds. Americans Rai Benjamin and Trevor Bassitt won the silver and bronze. Olympic champion and world-record holder Karsten Warholm of Norway has been dealing with hamstring issues and didn’t have his trademark kick at the finish. He wound up seventh. It was a night full of surprises with Jake Wightman of Britain winning the 1,500 meters.
