Olympic gold medalist Grant Holloway has a message to his younger self
In 2021 Holloway won silver in the 110 meter hurdles. This year he won gold.
SAINT-DENIS, France – A day after Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone dazzled in the women’s 400-meter hurdles, Rai Benjamin did the same on the men’s side for Team USA at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Benjamin cleared 10 hurdles around the track and won Olympic gold in the men’s 400 hurdles, running a season-best 46.46. It’s Benjamin’s first ever Olympic gold medal. He lost to Norway’s Karsten Warholm and earned the silver medal at the Tokyo Olympics. This time, though, Benjamin got revenge.
Warholm took second, clocking at 47.06 and Brazil’s Alison dos Santos ran a 47.26 to take the bronze medal.
Warholm, Benjamin and dos Santos have led the charge in the men’s 400 hurdles in recent years. Warholm set the world record in the event in 2021 (45.94). Warholm, Benjamin and dos Santos won gold, silver and bronze at the Tokyo Olympics, but it was Benjamin’s time in Paris.
