Qatar’s Abderrahman Samba on Sunday marked his season to claim third position in the men’s 400m hurdles at the Silesia Diamond League meeting on Sunday. Samba, who claimed sixth position in the Paris Olympics, clocked 47.69 secs in the star-studded race. Norway’s Karsten Warholm set the meeting record of 46.95 secs to return to winning ways with Frenchman Clement Ducos claiming second place with a time of 47.42 secs run. Warholm has had to get over his Olympic disappointment in being dethroned as champion by Rai Benjamin in the race. Jamaica’s Roshawn Clarke (47.74) finished fourth behind Samba with Estonia’s Rasmus Magi (47.97 secs) securing fifth place.
