WHILE MANY TITLES AND MEDALS FOLLOWED, WARHOLM SAYS HIS BIGGEST INSPIRATION IS HIS LOVE FOR THE SPORT.I do this because I really enjoy it. And the only thing that’s better than one gold medal… is two.
The postponement of the Olympic Games last year took their toll on motivation, but Warholm said the delay also helped him raise the bar: “The mindset comes back again because you need to try to turn the tables and see if you can make this an advantage. I was able to continue the training and I think, if it wasn’t for the pandemic, I wouldn’t have been able to run 45.94 at the Olympics.”
Warholm says he fully embraces the vision of “Only See Great”: “Every time I step on a track, I try to give it my all and I hope people see that and get inspired by the way I’m attacking my races. I think attitude is something that we can all have, and we can all learn.”
The idea for PUMA’s “Only See Great” campaign was inspired by cultural icon, entrepreneur and philanthropist Shawn “JAY-Z” Carter who first said: “I only see great. I don’t see good. I don’t see compromise. We should always strive to make something great, something that will last.”
