Grant Holloway, the World champion in 110m hurdles, and the only man to go under 13s this year, had a healthy lead at the halfway stage in the final on Thursday but landed hard after the eighth barrier and lost his rhythm. Seizing the opportunity, Jamaica’s Hansle Parchment came through strongly to win in a season-best 13.04s and pull off one of the biggest shocks in athletics at Tokyo. Holloway’s silver came 13.09. “It’s unbelievable that I caught this guy (Holloway). I’m really grateful.” said Parchment.
