The men's 400-meter hurdles at the Olympic Games is going to be a must-watch event after Karsten Warholm broke the world record with 46.70 on Thursday at the Bislett Games in Oslo, Norway. 

Warholm broke one of the oldest men's records in track and field, taking down Kevin Young's 46.78 from the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games. 

Warholm's performance comes less than a week after Rai Benjamin had moved to No. 2 on the all-time list with 46.83 at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials.
