American Grant Holloway wins third straight world indoor 60m hurdles gold | Athletics
American Grant Holway made history by storming the unprecedented third world title, respectively, 60 meters in Nanjing on Saturday.
The 27 -year -old, who was not defeated at home in 11 seasons, scored 7.42 seconds to win, as Wilhim Pelosian from France took silver in 7.54 seconds, only one hundred seconds before Liu Johnchi, Chinese.
Holway’s victory maintained a series of victory that has seen a defeat in internal obstacles races since March 2014, when he was 16 years old, including all preliminary and joint events.
Including 55 -meter obstacles and a 60 -meter obstacle, now won 94 consecutive internal races.
His victory was the first time that one of the titles won three consecutive titles – American Allen Johnson won three titles, but not respectively (1995, 2003, 2004).
Hulway, whose successes came in the air
“It was great. This was a little different. I had no great rounds, and I had to rely on my experience to take me in the final.
“But I knew what I had to do, I knew what I was missing. However, a great screaming of sports employees. Everyone was telling me,” I did this a million times before, you just have to do it again. “
Holway said that the race could be the last Hala, with a new specialty on the horizon.
He said: “I think I can put grace in it and suspend the 60 -meter obstacles and experience a new event next year.” “This is something I can think of.”
Through the NCAA system at the University of Florida, Holway not only competed in the long and short obstacles, but also in flat atoms of more than 60 and 100 meters, as well as lexes. It has a long leap better than 8.17m of 2018.
He added that he was watching the fourth -air world title when Tokyo hosts the following championship in September.
“We got 110 meters to come up next two months, so I will put my best foot forward,” said Holway, the Olympic champion who will make him 12.81 seconds in the American Olympic trials in 2021.
“It is a world championship, you will always have nerves in the world championship wherever you are.
“I just want to continue working hard, know ways to continue to win, master my craft, and continue to challenge psychological, sports and coaches to improve.”
In other events on Saturday, American Christopher Pelly won his global crown before marriage in a 400 -meter men’s race in 45.08 seconds, as he led an American survey in front of citizens Brian Faust and Jacuri Patterson.
