Diamond League Finals: Men's 400m hurdles world record holder Karsten Warholm is setting his sights on breaking another world record in the newly-introduced 300m hurdles at the 2025 Diamond League opener in Xiamen on Saturday.

"I skipped the indoor season to focus more on training, and I'm feeling really good and looking forward to racing in Xiamen," said Warholm at Friday's press conference.

The Norwegian aims to surpass his own 300m hurdles world record of 33.26 seconds in his first race of 2025, reports Xinhua. "The 300m hurdles is an event I really enjoyed for quite a while, a very nice distance to start the season off with, and it's a distance I often do in training. I did a world best some years ago, and I've been looking to better it."
