2023 Men’s 400 Hurdles World Rankings

Karsten Warholm bounced all the way back from injury in ’22 and the lowest rating of his career. (MARK SHEARMAN)

AFTER INJURIES HELD HIM to No. 5 in ’22, Karsten Warholm got back on track and picked off his fourth career No. 1, becoming only the fifth ever to earn that many…

WARHOLM’S YEAR ended on an uncharacteristic low note as he lost his last two races, Zürich (to Kyron McMaster) and Eugene (to Rai Benjamin). But he was still the clear leader, having won 3 DL titles and the WC gold…

DL FINAL WINNER BENJAMIN was an easy choice for the runner-up position, losing only in Budapest and splitting his meetings with McMaster…

DEFENDING No. 1 dos SANTOS tore a meniscus early in the year and didn’t have a race until late July.
