Overview
- Dos Santos claimed first place in the 400m hurdles at the Diamond League final in Brussels on Saturday with a 46.70 performance, securing his third Troféu Diamante.
- He entered the final unbeaten for the season and already held the world record of 45.80 set in Zurich on August 27, making him the clear favorite in Brussels.
- Karsten Warholm, the prior world-record holder and season rival, did not run in the final after reports that he withdrew over a dispute about prize-money amounts.
- Trevor Bassitt finished second in Brussels with 48.03 and fellow Brazilian Matheus Lima took third with 48.18, underlining Brazil’s strong showing in the event.
- Dos Santos now turns to the World Athletics 'Ultimate' event and then the South American Games in Santa Fe later in September, with his season form raising expectations for both competitions.
