'I’m gonna do this for him'- Oblique Seville on plans to make late father proud on the global stage
Oblique Seville is driven to excel in track to honour his late father’s belief in his potential and strives to represent Jamaica on the world stage.
"A stellar indoor season that featured an undefeated slate in the 60 hurdles and included a world record 7.27 at the USATF Indoor Championships and a World Athletics Indoor Championships gold made Grant Holloway the early favorite for gold in the 110 hurdles at the Olympic Games," USATF described why Holloway was feted.
"He didn't disappoint as he took the title in Paris by a tenth of a second with a 12.99 clocking. Holloway set his season best of 12.86 in winning the U.S. Olympic Team Trials, and he had six races faster than 13 seconds to go along with four Diamond League wins."
