After starting his season at the World Indoor Championships in Glasgow, where he narrowly missed out on gold in the 400m flat, Warholm has been training hard in preparation for his upcoming races.
Warholm, who wowed audiences with his sensational performance at the Tokyo Olympics, is hoping to defend his Olympic title in Paris. With new running shoes and a rigorous training regimen, he is confident in his abilities and is looking forward to showcasing his skills on his home track in Oslo.
The Bislett Games in Oslo will see Warholm facing tough competition from Brazilian Alison Dos Santos and Kyron McMaster of the British Virgin Islands. However, Warholm is no stranger to pressure, having competed against some of the best athletes in the world.
In addition to Warholm, the Bislett Games will feature six reigning Olympic champions, including Shericka Jackson, Marcell Jacobs, Jakob Ingebrigtsen, Joshua Cheptegei, Daniel Stahl, and Marileidy Paulino. With such a star-studded lineup, the event promises to be a thrilling display of athletic prowess.
As Warholm and his fellow competitors gear up for the Paris Olympics, fans can expect to witness some incredible performances on the track. With athletes like Warholm and Ingebrigtsen setting their sights on double gold in Paris, the stage is set for an exciting summer of track and field competition.
