Norwegian 400 million hurdles gold medalist Karsten Warholm ranted about Nike's "bull ****" spike technology after winning one of the greatest Olympic games of all time on Tuesday. 

The 25-year-old Warholm broke his own world record, but just defeated the American player Lebenjamin's challenge and won the first place, recording a time of 45.94 seconds. 

However, when Warholm wore Puma studs with Mercedes-designed carbon plates, Benjamin ran in Nike sneakers with air cushions.

Afterwards, Warholm praised his own shoes while seeming to aim at Nike. He said: “It is important for us to make a shoe that can give credibility to the results. Puma and Mercedes are in I have cooperated in the manufacture of carbon plates, which is something I like.

"But I don't understand why you should put anything under your sprint shoes. At the middle distance, I can understand it because of cushioning. If you want cushioning, you can put a mattress there. 

"But if you put a trampoline, I think it's bull ****, I think it will reduce the credibility of our exercise." 

The designer of the Tokyo circuit admitted that as the Olympic Games and world records continue to decline, rubber particles will produce "air pockets" and "trampoline effect", which makes athletes "1% or 2% faster."

However, after winning the gold medal, the 25-year-old took aim at Nike’s "bull ****" spiking technique.

Warholm broke his old world record and his great American opponent Benjamin in the final on Tuesday with over 0.78 seconds.

Benjamin was also within the previous record with 46.17 seconds, but he just failed to catch up with Warholm, who tore his vest to celebrate when he crossed the finish line.

"A lot of times I was asked about the perfect game," Warholm said. 'I said it doesn't exist, but this is the closest I've ever been. I can't feel my legs anymore in the last 20m. I just run for my life.

"I regret that Benjamin won the silver medal in 46.17 seconds-he deserves a gold medal too."

Benjamin was as shocked by the result as anyone: "If you tell me I will run 46.1 and lose, I might beat you and let you leave my room.

There was a gap between Warholm and Benjamin until the finish line of the final. 

The designer behind the Tokyo Olympic Stadium track allows athletes to run faster

"I would say this is the best game in the history of the Olympics. I don't think there is anything comparable to it. It's undeniable, it's crazy.

Now, the designer behind the fast track that has witnessed a series of extraordinary moments at the Olympics says that the surface is producing a "one or two percent" performance improvement. 

In addition to Warholm's running, Puerto Rican Jasmine Camacho Quinn set an Olympic record in the 100-meter hurdle and Elaine Thompson-Hera's 100-meter gold medal.

Although the performance was spectacular, they questioned the technique of spikes and runways.

Elaine Thompson-Herah set a new Olympic record of 10.61 in women's 100 meters-the second fastest result in history

As for the latter provided by Mondo, Kyron McMaster finished fourth in the 400m obstacle, describing it as "running in the air".

One of the team behind the track creation, Andrea Vallauri, said: "What you see is evolution. It's obvious that every time there is an Olympic Games we try to improve the formulation of the material, and Tokyo is no exception. 

'We tried to improve by adding additional compounds. The track is very thin-14 mm. But we added these rubber particles. How to best describe it: On the lower level of the track is this hexagonal design, which creates these small air pockets.  

'They not only provide shock absorption, but also provide some energy return; they also have a trampoline effect. We improved this combination, which is why we are seeing improved track performance.

Puerto Rican Jasmine Camacho-Quinn also set an Olympic record in the 100m hurdles final 

"In Rio (2016), this track is called WS. This new one is called WSTY, which stands for Tokyo. This is the latest development of the track.

"This is in full compliance with the rules, but it is also what we are required to provide;" Two components. Protect the health of athletes and avoid trauma, but they should also be given a boost, let me put it this way.

'In laboratory tests, we can see improvements. It's difficult to say exactly, but there may be a one percent or two percent advantage.

'It's all prefabricated, so every lane is the same, and the approach for long jump and triple jump is the same. The production is the same as that of Formula One tires.
