Grant Holloway doesn’t just win races—he dominates them. At the 2025 World Indoor Championships, he stormed through the 60m hurdles like a man on a mission, stretching his decade-long undefeated streak into near-mythical territory. Seventy straight wins. Let that sink in. In a sport where even the slightest misstep can end a streak, Holloway has made winning look effortless. But with the indoor season now in the rearview mirror, the bigger question looms—what’s next? Will he carry this dominance into the outdoor season? Can he take his legendary form to the 110m hurdles and chase history in an Olympic year? The track world is waiting for answers, but Holloway has already made one clear: not every opportunity is worth taking. Even when it comes with a $30 million price tag.
With history on his side, Holloway’s focus remains razor-sharp. The outdoor season is the real proving ground, and he’s leaving nothing to chance. “I try to put myself in the best position to win for the 110 hurdles,” he said in an interview with Flotrack, making it clear that every move he makes is calculated. And while Michael Johnson and the Grand Slam committee have extended an opportunity, Holloway knows where his priorities lie. “Obviously, I told both of them that it’s a great idea. I think it’s going to be very successful, but it’s not a great idea for @flaamingoo_.” Translation? He’s got unfinished business, and distractions aren’t part of the plan.
For Holloway, this latest victory wasn’t just another medal. It was a statement. Winning three straight World Indoor Championships in the 60m hurdles is a feat no one in history has ever accomplished. Not Allen Johnson. Not Colin Jackson. Holloway now owns the four fastest times in the event’s history, with an electrifying 7.27 at the top. And with three more races at 7.29, he’s essentially competing against his own records. This dominance isn’t just about numbers; it’s about rewriting what’s possible in hurdling.

World Athletics summed it up best, calling him “The definition of a GOAT!!” And the fans agree. His 10-year unbeaten streak in the 60m hurdles, his third straight world title, and his relentless pursuit of excellence have cemented him as one of the greatest to ever do it. But now, all eyes shift to the outdoor season. Can he extend his dominance to the 110m? Will he take down records in an Olympic year? One thing’s for sure. If there’s a bar to be set, Holloway won’t just clear it. He’ll raise it.

When the stakes are high, Grant Holloway doesn’t just rise to the occasion. He owns it. The American hurdler once again proved why he is in a league of his own. With a lightning-fast start and flawless execution, he left his competition scrambling to keep up. Jamaica’s Tyler Mason hoped to challenge him, but Holloway turned the final into a one-man showcase. By the time he crossed the finish line, there was no debate. This was his event, his stage, and his moment.
While Holloway secured yet another gold medal, Wilhem Belocian took silver with a time of 7.54, while Liu Junxi followed closely, claiming bronze at 7.55. But let’s be real! This race wasn’t about who finished second or third. It was about Holloway extending his decade-long dominance, turning what should have been a fierce competition into what fans are now calling “The Grant Holloway Event.” Winning isn’t just a goal for him; it’s an expectation, and time after time, he delivers.
After his victory, NBC Sports’ Ato Boldon asked him the question on everyone’s mind. How does he keep showing up and delivering when it matters most? Holloway’s answer was simple yet powerful.
“When you have a major championship on the line and you look back at your resume or someone looks back at your resume, whether it’s tomorrow, a year from now, or 20 years from now, they’re going to realize that at every major championship, Grant Holloway was there. Whenever there was a title on the line, Grant Holloway was there,” he said. Clearly, his words are as commanding as his performances. He doesn’t just show up but stamps his authority on the competition.
But Holloway knows success isn’t a solo journey. He made sure to credit the team behind him, emphasizing the collective effort that fuels his greatness. “He’s going to challenge himself, but more importantly, he’s going to challenge his team, his coach, and his support staff, just to be as ready as he is,” he said. That’s the essence of Holloway’s dominance. He’s not just pushing himself to be the best but elevating everyone around him.
