Athletics: Favourite Grant Holloway comes close to Olympic record to top men’s 110m hurdles semis
We’ve just had the three semi-finals in the men’s 110m hurdles and they were electric!
World champion and hot favourite Grant Holloway clocked a blistering 12.98 seconds to win heat 1 and make it through to the final as the fastest qualifier. Believe it or not, that is just 0.07 seconds off the Olympic record!
Defending champion Hansle Parchment of Jamaica was third in that first heat, but makes it through as a time qualifier.
It means there will be three U.S. and three Jamaican runners in the final.
