Norway's Olympic champion Karsten Warholm won the men's 400 metres hurdles in a race that was hindered by a protest from environmentalists at a rain-hit Galan Diamond League meet on Sunday.
Three protesters from A22 Network, who interrupted the Swedish final of "Let's Dance" on TV4 last month, knelt on the track about 10 metres from the finish line, stretching a banner across six lanes, forcing most of the field to run through it."It is permissible to protest, but this is not the way to do it," Warholm told Norwegian broadcaster NRK. "It is disrespectful to those who are here to do a good job.
"I felt very good before the start but the conditions make it a little bit more challenging, but I felt I had to get in and got to post another good time, so I am very pleased," Warholm said. "I am 100% exactly where I want to be." Kenyan Beatrice Chebet won a tactical women's 5,000, opening a yawning gap on the field with 300 metres remaining to clock a season's best 14:36.52.
