Grant Holloway has his Olympic gold medal. In the three years since a silver medal finish in the Tokyo Games, Holloway has utterly dominated the event in worldwide competition. Thursday night was more of the same.
His 12.99 time Thursday provided a full tenth of a second winning margin. His pace was one of only two to crack the 13-second mark during the Paris Olympics, with his own semifinal effort the other. One of the most dominant athletes in the history of the 110m hurdles now bears the title, “Olympic Champion.”
Women’s Long Jump – Finals
It was more history for Jasmine Moore on Thursday, as she claimed her second bronze of the Paris Games. Her first jump, 6.96 meters, was the best of the group and that effort remained as her medal-winning mark.
Moore became the first U.S. woman in history to qualify for both the Long Jump and Triple Jump at the Olympic Trials. Today she became the first U.S. woman to medal in both.
