It is a great comeback story -- someone could make a movie out of it -- but what I want to know is WTF happened to Holloway?
Isn’t track and field absolutely the best? The reigning world record holder, Olympic champion, Worlds champion, indoor champion and most dominant hurdler of the last decade can’t win a race and we have no clue why, what’s happened, what’s up!
Grant Holloway injured a knee weight lifting in March. Has not been same since.

Indeed, the poster self-named "bloviating" above is doing just that.
Holloway has spoken at length about his season on well-known track podcasts.
After proving top-of-his-game form in the shorter race, winning the 60h at worlds indoor, he sustained an injury. He managed to train to world class form, placing top-3 in various DL/European meets, USATF trials, and of course making the WC final, but clearly did not make it back to his world-beating form in 2025.
