Warholm skips Diamond League final

Norwegian star Karsten Warholm will not compete in the Diamond League final in Brussels this weekend. Manager Kristine Haddal confirmed the decision, citing a demanding recent schedule where Warholm lost twice to Brazilian rival Alison dos Santos.

Dos Santos set a new world record of 45.80 seconds in Zurich, beating Warholm's 46.69. Warholm aims to conserve energy for the upcoming World Athletics Ultimate Championships in Budapest, where winners will receive $150,000. biznow.biz
