American Grant Holloway has been one of the most consistent 110m hurdlers for the past few seasons but achieved a new feat this year after his glory in Paris.
Grant Holloway’s credentials were missing just one gold medal until 2024.
The US hurdle king claimed his first Olympic gold medal in Paris, the only man in the final to run under 13 seconds, and one of six times he ran sub-13 during the season in his 110mH specialty.

'I’m not offended at all'- Rai Benjamin unbothered by World Athletics awards snub, singles out who deserved recognition
Rai Benjamin remains unbothered about the World Athletics awards nominees as he singled out who he thinks deserved recognition.
Holloway’s hold on the event began, as usual, during the winter. When Holloway successfully defended his world indoor 60m hurdles title in Glasgow in 7.29, it continued his unbeaten streak in the event to nine years.
Italy’s Lorenzo Ndele Simonelli set an early world lead of 13.05 to win the European Championships in June, but it wasn’t for long. Later that month, Holloway won the US Olympic trials in 12.86 – the fourth-fastest performance in history.
