Los Angeles (AFP) – American Rai Benjamin won the men’s 400m hurdles in a world-leading 46.64 seconds at the Los Angeles Grand Prix on Saturday as Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone posted an impressive 200m victory.

Benjamin, the 400m hurdles Olympic silver medallist, clocked the ninth-fastest time ever, revving up expectations for a Paris Games showdown with Norway’s Karsten Warholm and Brazilian Alison dos Santos — who won gold and bronze in a scintillating Tokyo Olympics final.
