SAINT-DENIS, France — American Rai Benjamin convincingly beat world-record-holder Karsten Warholm and Brazil's Alison dos Santos in a stellar 400-meter hurdle race at the Paris Olympics. Benjamin clocked 46.46 seconds to finish several strides ahead of Warholm (47.06) and Dos Santos (47.26) despite landing awkwardly coming over the eighth hurdle in a race between the three fastest men in history. Benjamin won silver behind Warholm when the Norwegian set the world record in Tokyo three years ago.
