Karsten Warholm Reacts To Losing To Mondo Duplantis in 100m Exhibition Race In Zurich, Ran 10.47

[@badgerspvcoach]

Respect to both of these guys for actually doing this!

[@michaelmcginley7930]

Humble guy

[@sinking1902]

Great for the sport! Feels like track is growing.

[@ajeetvinayak5100]

Amazing human! What a competitor Others in the sport could learn from this man. He glows even in defeat. He gets it…what I want my daughter to understand when she doesnt come in first

[@PaulMcGrath-h4q]

Agreed. Thank goodness these classy role models still exist.

[@Good13man]

Karsten Warholm showed great character and sportsmanship here. Bravo!

Respect to both of these guys for taking the challenge

[@lindqvistelias]

Class act 👌🏼

[@spookyaction8917]

I like this guy even more when he "loses." Mondo is cut from the same cloth too. Humility.

[@beyondempowerment]

So nice to see this lighter Karsten. Thanks guys for the fun race. ❤❤😊

[@BeasleyStreet]

What is really pleasing is that with the sponsors and the relevant authorities gave it the thumbs up and went with it, these one off challenges are great fun and there are no losers really, it benefits athletics and creates interest...

[@jeff09_]

Amazing event and kudos for both athletes putting themselves out there on the spotlight. Even if the “stakes” are low it’s respectable to put yourself in a possibly unfavorable position. The true spirit of sport!

[@namesake7139]

Him and Mondo have more charisma in the sprints than the men 100m sprinters do!!!?

[@cjcurtis8944]

I was pretty sure Mondo would smoke him, but Karsten made it respectable. Very fun event! Both guys are good dudes and humble athletes.

[@AdamGordon1]

Next Josh Kerr and Ingebrigtsen in MMA.

[@Mc-kk4fd]

Great reaction. I wish all athletes would behave more like this guy.

[@J.e.f.f.r.e.y]

This is so exciting for the sport. I think there could be some big pay-per-view opportunities for athletes. Like Mike Tyson vs Noah Lyles. I was really surprised at Mundo’s speed but I guess he really is that special at pole vault and probably has amazing explosive speed. It makes sense that there is a lot of cross over with elite athletes, a bit like Hobbs Kessler being a junior world champion rock climber, 800m and 1500/mile Olympian. Maybe Kessler and Mundo should compete at something too.

Good sports, well done... fun, enjoyable.

[@TheChinaPlay]

Rematch - 200M?

[@RePaperBag]

warholm would crush duplantis at that, too much stamina required compared to 100m, and warholm is a runner

[@TheChinaPlay]

@@RePaperBag I agree. But what other event would be competitive?

[@brendancroft5290]

@@TheChinaPlay.10 seconds is not a blowout here. This was great, but I don’t think we need a rematch between these guys. Like Karsten said, it makes more sense as a one time thing. However, I’d be down to see some crossover exhibition events between other athletes

[@q12aw50]

@@RePaperBagagain, wrong. Learn about field event workouts before commenting. They train sprints HARD. Including 200m I’m willing to bet you thought Warholm would win

[@TheChinaPlay]

@@brendancroft5290 I agree. That's what I'm saying. I'd like to see more from them and other athletes. For example, this year watching Tebogo run everything from the 100 to the 4x4 has been fun. When guys go outside their event it really showcases just how good of an athlete they are. Remember when DK Metcalf ran the 100 with pros, that was great to see as well. I'm waiting for Tyreek vs. Noah in the 60m.

[@florida0092]

What a great guy! Going to be epic to see him compete in the Swedish outfit tomorrow! 😂

[@ncw_saaw]

Congratulations on a PB Warholm 🔥🔥

[@arachnidkalven]

Warholm vs Ingebrigtsen 800 m

[@Paolo040]

that's Jakob and it is not even close

[@arachnidkalven]

@@Paolo040 what?!!!

[@arachnidkalven]

@@Paolo040 do you want to make a bet?

[@CarlFredrik-uo1cu]

600m would be more fair/even

[@CarlFredrik-uo1cu]

Or they could do 800m hurdles, lol

[@tamasszanka5866]

There's easily 0.1 sec in his run, just purely on refining technique. Karsten stood straight up from the blocks and was not relaxed enough. Fast muscle is a lose muscle.

[@arelman]

What is amazing about Karsten is he runs only one second slower per 100m for 400m over hurdles😮

[@guygrindborg7732]

Extra fun with the friendly Swedish Norwegian banter.

[@leftymhp]

mondo did sweden proud ..

[@enzop2835]

He's American 😂

[@CarlFredrik-uo1cu]

Good fun. I would've loved to see this duel in 2021, when Warholm was at his absolute peak. 2023 would be interesting too. For reference: 2019: 46.92 (as well as 47.12, 47.26, 47.33) 2020: 46.87 (as well as 47.07, 47.08, 47.10) 2021: 45.94 (as well as 46.70, 47.08, 47.30, 47.35) 2022: 47.12 (as well as 47.24. Was injured big parts of the season) 2023: 46.51 (as well as 46.52, 46.53, 46.76, 46.89, 47.09, 47.30) 2024: 46.70 (as well as 46.73, 46.95, 46.98, 47.06)

[@dawnkskd]

As he is wearing something with blue and yellow

[@HeidiFegles]

Karstens start want that great honestly. If he would have had a good start it would have been way closer, I bet in a rematch it would be even closer, shit IV logged a 10.52 100m time and vaulted 17’8”. I’ll race and make a fool of myself any day also tripled 52’8”, I like the event and the hype and all. Let’s see it again. Like I said if you need a spot filled, sign me up. I’ll run a sub 11 in a chicken suit lol

[@kensilverstone1656]

How about 200 meters, or even 150 meters?

[@viktor8050]

How about 100 meters? Which the event was about.

[@kensilverstone1656]

@@viktor8050 I'm taking about a future race to add the same kind of suspense. I was surprised that Mondo had so much sustained speed.

[@iluvcliffrichard]

You got a bad start karsten, why?. I think you win rematch

[@ghsense2626]

This guy got smoked by Rai Benjamin

[@pal_lokomotivet2679]

Thank you for informing us. Come back when rai has two more world championships and the WR

[@georgemccall-zz4pd]

he still has a faster time then rai.
