Expectations were high for the 400m hurdles world record holder and Olympic champion Karsten Warholm in his first race of the 2022 season at Rabat Diamond League in Morocco. This was not the start the Olympic champion was hoping for 6 weeks out from World Championships, set to begin on July 15. Thompson-Herah followed up her win last weekend in Eugene, with another win and sub 11 seconds in Rabat. Thompson-Herah clocked a meet record time of 10.83 seconds, her second-fastest time of the 2022 season. El Bakkali created a gap on Girma with 100m to go, winning the race in a world-leading time of 7:58.28.
