That indicated something special was about to transpire during tonight’s main event and the 22-year-old Texas Longhorn did not disappoint.
Kos fired off a shiny new lifetime best and Hungarian national record of 54.24 en route to winning the gold medal, his third since the competition began yesterday.
Kos opened in 25.07 and closed in 27.17 to defeat the field by well over a second. Runner-up status went to Adam Jaszo who notched 53.92 for silver and bronze went to Benedek Kovacs who touched in 54.09.
Entering this competition, Kos’ lifetime best and national standard rested at the 52.78 he logged in the heats at the 2024 Olympic Games. There in Paris, he ultimately finished 10th overall with a semi-final result of 52.98.
Comparing Kos’ trio of his fastest performances, tonight’s carried the fastest opening 50m by a significant margin:
