— Rai Benjamin (@_Kingben_) October 31, 2021
In the last three years, Benjamin enjoyed a meteoric rise as a specialist in the 400m category. The 24-year-old made his Olympic debut at the Tokyo Olympics earlier this year with many expecting him to win a medal. In a sensational race, Benjamin battled world champion Kasper Warholm for his maiden gold medal.
Although the American finished under Warholm’s world record time before the race, the Norwegian hurdler went even quicker to post a time of 45.94s, making him the first athlete to score a time under 46s.
