USA's Grant Holloway questions his legacy after Olympic glory in Paris
Grant Holloway has reflected on his recent Olympic gold medal win, questioning its impact on his legacy and future goals.
Holloway beat the Jamaican hurdler in the final at the Paris Olympic Games and going into the race at the Diamond League, Broadbell knew he had to prove himself. He clocked 13.09 seconds to round up the podium in Paris as Holloway claimed the win in a time of 12.99s.
Broadbell had a steady start off the blocks and ensured he maintained the momentum to the finish line, a tactic that saved the day for him.
On his part, Parchment was coming off a poor Olympic outing where he faded to finish a disappointing eighth in the race. Going into the race as the defending champion, all eyes were on him to perform but he failed to impress his fans and his performance in Lausanne is a great improvement.
He has suffered a series of injuries that saw him begin his training late but has since proven to be in the game and ready for the Diamond League Meeting final.
