Dos Santos, the 2022 World Champion and a double bronze medalist from the Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024 Olympics, edged out pre-race favorite Karsten Warholm of Norway.

Warholm, a three-time world champion and four-time European champion, finished second with a time of 46.52 seconds, just nine-hundredths of a second behind dos Santos. The race also saw a personal best from another Brazilian, Matheus Lima, who took third place with a time of 47.26 seconds.
