her focus and comes back to her preparation but herfocus and her comes back to her preparation but her focus and her belief in herself and got out there with a lot of pressure and was able to just deliver. elaine executed that race so smoothly and i m happy for her that she was able to not only defend her title but also to run a very fast time and now, that s his time the fastest times. one of the talking points in the run up to these games was whether new shoes worn by track athletes would lead to faster times. elaine thompson herah was among those wearing nike s so called super spikes , which have layers of stiff carbon and bouncy foam which together act as a spring. the american rai benjamin wore them too for his silver medal in the 400m hurdles. the winner of that event karsten warholm said of his competitor. he had those things in his shoes, which i hate. i think it takes credibility away from our sport. here s the verdict of another former record holder on the track,
a totally indescribable experience. i it was one thing to hope that it would go well, but i never expected that it would be with such margin. karsten warholm s achievement puts him up there, among the greatest of track athletes. here s another former record holder, the us sprinter michaeljohnson. karston s been on fire all season. he broke the world record which had stood since 1992, at the barcelona olympics. he broke that at his first race of the season which was pretty unprecedented. we knew then that would be in for great things in tokyo because benjamin came very close to that world record also at the us olympic trials. and karston actually said if he broke the world record in may it s gonna take another world record to win the tokyo gold. and of course it did. to put it in perspective, he broke that world record by seven tenths of a second, seven tenths.
