Karsten Warholm\u00a0hates losing more than anything. And now it has happened twice in a row – against the very same man:\u00a0Alison dos Santos.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Wednesday, June 10, they will clash again. This time at Bislett Stadium. And one thing is certain: the desire for revenge will be blazing in the eyes of the Norwegian superstar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Brazilian has had the upper hand so far this season. First in Shanghai\/Keqiao on May 16, where he edged out Warholm in the 300 meter hurdles by the slimmest of margins: 33.01 to 33.05.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just eight days later, it happened again in Xiamen – this time in Warholm\u2019s favorite event, the 400 meter hurdles. Once again, dos Santos came out on top with 46.72 against Warholm\u2019s 46.82.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s frustrating to finish second. It annoys me because I always want to win,\u201d a visibly frustrated Warholm said after the race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, this is far from a statistical domination. Warholm has in fact run faster than his Xiamen time on nine previous occasions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And dos Santos? It was only the fifth-fastest race of his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what happens now that Warholm has had time to recover and prepare for a showdown on home soil?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One thing is certain: the Brazilian arrives at Bislett overflowing with confidence. In April, he stormed to an impressive 44.38 in the flat 400 meters – a personal best and a frightening warning to his rivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Bislett is Warholm\u2019s arena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This revenge battle could easily become the highlight of the evening. Backed by the home crowd, Warholm is chasing both his first victory of the season over his rival and a chance to reinforce his overall advantage in their head-to-head record, which currently stands at 12\u20135 in favor of the Norwegian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will be intense. This will be personal. This is something you do not want to miss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
