Grant Holloway Repeats as World Champion in 110-Meter Hurdles
Sunday, July 17, 2022 | Track and Field
EUGENE, Ore. – The world's finest hurdler added to his medal collection on Sunday night at the 2022 World Athletics Championships.
Grant Holloway successfully repeated as World Champion in the 110-meter hurdles after winning the finals in Eugene in 13.03.
His win marks a sweep of the hurdles at World Championship events in 2022 following his gold medal in the 60-meter hurdles at the World Indoor Championships in Belgrade.
Holloway was the World Champion in the 110-meter hurdles in Doha in 2019 before winning silver at the Tokyo Olympics last summer.
The three-time NCAA Champion in the 110-meter hurdles is now a two-time World Champion in the event all before the age of 25.
He will have the chance to make it three-in-a-row next summer at the World Championships in Budapest, Hungary.
Champion Allison and Talitha Diggs opened the day in the 400 meters, each advancing to the semifinals on Wednesday evening.
Allison ran 45.56, winning his heat with ease. Diggs was second in her heat, but an automatic qualifier into the next round.
Anna Hall put up a brilliant first-day performance in the Heptathlon on Sunday, posting a pair of personal bests and a season's best in the High Jump.
The Highlands Ranch, Colo. native sits third in the Heptathlon standings with a first-day personal best of 3991 points following the first four events.
Hall opened up with a 13.20 in the 100-meter hurdles before following that up with a season's best of 1.86m in the High Jump.
She closed out the day with a new personal best of 13.67 in the Shot Put before dominating the field in 23.08 for a new lifetime best in the 200 meters.
Hall will head into the final three events in bronze medal position. She is well-over 200 points ahead of the pace of her personal best she set at the USATF Combined Events Championships.
The Long Jump, Javelin and her signature event, the 800 meters, await her on Monday in Eugene.
Hall will be in action tomorrow alongside Joseph Fahnbulleh (Heats of 200 Meters) and Cory McGee (1500-meter Final).
