Grant Holloway finally earned his first Olympic gold medal on Thursday, with the American winning the 110-meter hurdles.
Grant Holloway has been one of the greatest hurdlers in the world for years, and long considered the best, but there was one glaring void on his résumé.
Now, he can finally call himself an Olympic gold medalist.
After blowing a lead and settling for silver in Tokyo three years ago, the 26-year-old American won the men’s 110-meter hurdles with ease Thursday at the Paris Games, finishing in 12.99 for a wire-to-wire victory at the Stade de France.
“What are they gonna say now?” Holloway said as he celebrated after the win, according to The Athletic.
American Daniel Roberts earned silver for his first Olympic medal on a photo finish.
