Grant Holloway claims elusive 110-meter high hurdles gold
SAINT-DENIS, France — American Grant Holloway captured the Olympic 110-meter high hurdles gold medal denied him three years ago in Tokyo.
Holloway, the three-time World champion, completed his résumé with a 12.99-second clocking.
Daniel Roberts of the U.S. was second at 13.09.
Holloway, 26, just missed the world record by a hundredth of a second when he ran 12.81 at the 2021 U.S. Olympic Trials. But he could manage only 13.09 in Tokyo, upset by gold medalist Hansel Parchment of Jamaica, in taking home the silver.
