After American track star Grant Holloway failed to make the finals of the 110m hurdles at the World Championships in Tokyo, there are multiple top athletes who will be looking to win the gold medal this year. Holloway, who is a three-time world champion in the 110m hurdles, will be missing out on the finals of the event this year after finishing 6th in the semi-finals. With his omission, a new world champion in the men's 110m hurdles is set to be crowned. Here are the top athletes who can do so:
Cordell Tinch
Another USA Track and Field Athlete like Grant Holloway, Cordell Tinch will be looking to grab his first ever World Championship in Tokyo. Tinch recorded the second-fastest time out of all the semi-finalists, finishing 1st in the 2nd heat with a time of 13.16 seconds. He recently competed at the Diamond League finals in Zurich, where he won the 110m hurdles. He will be looking to repeat his success in Tokyo.
