Showing his stellar performance and maintaining his winning form, Grant Holloway conquered the third consecutive World Indoor 60m Hurdles Title. Creating a historic feat, Grant Holloway became the only person in history to win three outdoors and three indoors. Talking to worldathletics.org, he said:

"To win three indoors, and three outdoors, I think I'm the first person in history to ever do that. That's an amazing stat," said Holloway.

Some of the races were very close, but Holloway kept his composure. He was leading the event while France’s Wilhem Belocian was right behind him with a difference of just 0.12. Taking a comfortable lead in the finals, Grant was just 0.15 seconds short of his indoor world record.

In a conversation with worldathletics.org, Grant reflected:

“This one was a little bit different. I didn't have two great rounds, and had to rely on my experience to get me through the final. But I knew what I had to do; I knew what I was missing. Everybody was telling me, ‘You've done this a million times before, you just got to do it again’."

Holloway also mentioned that he might try his hand at a new event next year. He continued:

Also, I think I can put grace in it, hang up the 60m hurdles and try out a new event next year. That's something I can think about.

Grant Holloway led the way with a 7.42 run, with Wilhem Belocian (silver) of France running a 7.54 and Liu Junxi from China running a 7.55 and clinching the bronze.
