Norwegian sprinter Karsten Warholm broke the long-standing world record in the men's 400 metres hurdles in front of a home crowd at the Diamond League track and field athletics meeting in Oslo. The 29-year-old record of Kevin Young was finally broken with an official time of 46.70s. The American's mark of 46.78 seconds was set at the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, Spain. It was the longest-standing record in the men's track.
