    Great race by Holloway and also great to see so much support surrounding him! He seems like a generational talent and I can’t wait to see his career unfold.

    This was a great video shows how hungry he really was and as usual he rises to the occasion and is the ultimate competitor on the big stage. To break the Collegiate Record was a huge feat in and of itself but it wasn't surprising as he got pretty close to that mark his last outing a few weeks back. However to beat Omar Mcleod was very big deal because he was ruled the Men's hurdles for the last two years and it shows that Grant could very well be the next great Hurdler in the World.

    I guess it's easy to say now, but I kind of saw this coming. What's scary about running that fast in the 60 is in the 110s, he is better in the second half of the race. This dude can run all of the sprints, long jump and of course hurdle. The male equivalent to Sydney Mac. I saw him split 44x, I would love to see him run the 400h.

    I've known him since he was 13. His dad really thinks the 400h would be his best event. I'd love to see him give it a shot, but it's got to be hard to shift his focus away from the 110s when he is running away from gold medalists. Besides Ashton Eaton, I can't think of someone recently who was world class in 4 very different events at the same time (110h, LJ, 400, 400h).

    If he doesn't win the Bowerman going away, it will be the biggest travesty since Ches didn't get it.
