Warholm donated the record awards
ULSTEINVIK (NOR): World and European 400m hurdles champion Karsten Warholm, who won 150,000 Norwegian kroner (approximately 28,000 euros) for breaking the world best in the 300m hurdles at the Impossible Games, has donated the money to two charities, informs Runner’s World Sport. Warholm split the money evenly between Amnesty International Norway and the Church City Mission, the latter defining itself as “an inclusive, non-profit organization that works in towns and cities across Norway, among people facing challenges in life for various reasons.”
