Summary
editGrant Holloway had one item on his resume' to settle. He was not the returning Olympic Champion. That title went to Hansle Parchment, with Holloway silver. Since 2019, Holloway had won three straight World Championships, two straight Indoor Championships, set the Indoor World Record and ran the second fastest time in history, only .01 off of Aries Merritt's world record. The Olympic bronze medalist Ronald Levy and 2022 silver medalist Trey Cunningham did not return. The 2022 bronze medalist was Asier Martínez. The 2023 silver medalist was Parchment with Daniel Roberts bronze in 2023. Making the US team is frequently harder than the Olympics, demonstrated by the top four times of the year being the top four in the US Trials. Freddie Crittenden made it but 4th place Cordell Tinch, 5th place Ja'qualon Scott, heat winner Jamal Britt and Walmart employee Dylan Beard, all 13.10 or better were left at home. Lorenzo Ndele Simonelli, Rachid Muratake, Enrique Llopis, Rasheed Broadbell and Shunsuke Izumiya were the only other athletes worldwide to run 13.10 or better.[2]
In the final Roberts got a fantastic start to get over there first hurdle ahead. Holloway's acceleration put him ahead by the second. Roberts hit the fourth hurdle but maintained his advantage over Rachid Muratake leading a wall of hurdlers across the track. With the fastest 5 hurdles in the world in his pocket, Holloway was well ahead. While he slowed the last two hurdles, he was so far ahead he was unchallenged for gold. Going into hurdle 8, Rasheed Broadbell was surging, Roberts was ahead but losing ground. Dragging the last hurdle Roberts pushed for the finish line to try to hold off Broadbell, leaning early for the line, Roberts leaned again, diving across the finish line before crashing to the track. The fully automatic timing photo finish revealed Roberts had beaten Broadbell by .003.[3]
