Grant Holloway may perhaps be the greatest 110 meter hurdler of all time, but his dominance might never have started without simple but key advice from Justin Gatlin in 2019.
World and Olympic champion Grant Holloway is one of the most dominant hurdlers of his generation—but behind his unwavering confidence and championship mindset lies a foundation built on powerful advice from legends and lifelong values instilled by his parents.
Holloway has cemented his status as perhaps the greatest 110m hurdler of all time. He is a 2024 Paris Olympic gold medalist in the 110 meters hurdles and the second-fastest man in history at the event with a personal best of 12.81 seconds, set at the U.S. Olympic Trials on June 26, 2021.
He is also a three-time world champion (2019 Doha, 2022 Eugene, and 2023 Budapest).

Akani Simbine Warns Noah Lyles and Kishane Thompson After South Africa's World Relays Win
Akani Simbine anchored South Africa's 4 x 100m relay team into clinching the World Athletics Relays gold in China.
In the 60 meters hurdles, Holloway is a three-time world indoor champion (2022 Belgrade, 2024 Glasgow, and 2025 Nanjing) and the world indoor record holder with a time of 7.27 seconds set at the 2024 USA Indoor Track and Field Championships.
But all those achievements may never have been possible without key advice he received from Justin Gatlin during his first year as a senior athlete before the 2019 World Athletics Championships in Doha, Qatar.
In a heartfelt reflection on the Ready Set Go podcast, Holloway credited Gatlin with planting the seed that helped shape his approach to big stages.
Gatlin’s simple advice that changed Holloway’s perception
)
“I still remember making my first team with you back in 2019,” Holloway recalled. “You probably don’t even remember some of the things you told me, but that wisdom stuck with me. I’m passing it down now—to Arion, to Grace.”
Among the words of encouragement that resonated most was Gatlin’s reminder that the pressure was already off.

Benni McCarthy: Fresh Update on Harambee Stars Coach’s Future Amid Links to South African Giants
Harambee Stars coach Benni McCarthy has been linked to jobs back home in South Africa in recent days and there is a new update regarding his future in Kenya.
“You said, ‘You’ve already done the hard part by making the team. Now just go out there, run healthy, run free, and run happy. You’ll surprise yourself.’ That stuck with me, and I’m telling the next generation the same thing.”
For Holloway, such mentorship didn’t just inspire performances—it shaped his legacy.
“So thank you—for helping build this beast, this monster. When I’m done with the sport, however that chapter ends, I want people to say: no matter where he was or what he did, he gave 110%. No pun intended. He left it all on the track. That’s all I can ask for.”
“You Only Need to Win Four Meets”
)
While Gatlin’s advice helped set the tone, it was Holloway’s parents who drilled into him the importance of showing up when it mattered.
“We’ve always been taught there’s a time and place for everything,” he said. “My parents made it clear: we’re not stressing over regular season meets. Not district. Not regional. The goal was always to be the best in the state—and the best in the nation.”
Even as a professional, that mindset hasn’t changed. Holloway explained how his family’s philosophy guided his entire approach to competing at the elite level.
“When I turned pro, my parents said, ‘You only need to win four track meets: indoor trials, indoor worlds, outdoor trials, and outdoor worlds. You can lose every other meet, but if you win those four, you’ll be great in this sport.’”

Huge Twist For Gout Gout As More Responsibility Emerges Ahead of World Championships
Gout Gout could be set to add another new event at the World Championships if all goes according to plan.
That formula has paid off. Holloway has consistently delivered on the biggest stages, including three consecutive World Championship titles in the 110m hurdles (2019, 2022, 2023) and Olympic silver in Tokyo.
Losses, Holloway says, are part of the journey—but they never define him. From Diamond League defeats to his Olympic final loss to Hansle Parchment, he remains anchored in long-term vision.
“When I step onto the line at a major, I remind myself—just like Cam Newton once said, ‘There aren’t 32 quarterbacks better than me.’ Well, there aren’t three hurdlers better than me when I show up at a championship.”
That championship mentality, he insists, is what sets the greats apart.
“At the end of the day, you’ve got to be a big-moment person. That’s what my parents always told me. You’ll face adversity, you’ll take some losses—but what matters is how you respond.”
And his parents’ words continue to ring loudest in those moments of pressure:
“They always said, ‘You can lose the battle, but make sure you win the war.’ And that’s how I approach every season.”
