Benjamin clocked 46.46 seconds to win gold, finishing several strides ahead of Warholm (47.06) and Dos Santos (47.26). Benjamin was able to win despite landing awkwardly coming over the eighth hurdle in a race between the three fastest men in history.
Benjamin won silver behind Warholm when the Norwegian set the world record at the Tokyo Games three years ago.
