Rai Benjamin is currently one of the top track and field athletes on Earth and is competing in the 2024 Olympic Games.

The New York-born, Antigua- and then-Mount Vernon-raised runner anchored the U.S. men’s 4x400-meter relay team to a gold medal at the COVID-delayed Tokyo Olympics in 2021, and also broke the world record as he finished second in the 400 hurdles.

Benjamin, who now lives in California, remains second all-time to the man who beat him in Tokyo: Norway’s Karsten Warholm.

Benjamin, Warholm and Brazil’s Alison dos Santos (third in Tokyo, and the 2022 world champion) are expected to vie in the Olympic 400-meter hurdles final in Paris on Aug. 9.

It’s anyone’s guess what time they’ll run, but Benjamin’s personal-best of 46.1 and Warholm’s world-record 45.94 – both clocked in Tokyo – could be relegated to Olympic footnotes.
