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.
Camacho-Quinn headed to the Paris Olympic Games with fingers crossed to defend her title but narrowly lost it to American Masai Russell. The hurdler from Puerto Rico was forced to settle for second place in the race.
On her part, reigning world champion Danielle Williams was also hoping to make an impact, going up the stacked field. Williams finished sixth in the women’s 100m hurdles semifinal and could not proceed to proceed to the final.
She failed to live up to the billing in the Diamond League as she faded to finish a disappointing fifth in 12.53 seconds.
