Jamaica’s Hansle Parchment stunned the world as he pulled off what could be one of the biggest upsets of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics by snagging gold over U.S. runner Grant Holloway.
Prior to the Tokyo Games, the 2012 bronze medalist's best time in the 110 hurdles this year was 13.16. Parchment ran a 13.04 for the gold on Thursday, edging out heavy favorite Holloway.
The Team USA hurdler gave the world record a scare in the Trials but finished at 13.09 for silver while Jamaica’s Ronald Levy took home bronze at 13.10. Holloway, the reigning world champion, had an early lead until the final two hurdles.
