By crossing the line in 7 sec 32, Holloway, three-time world champion in the 110 meter hurdles, signed his 65th consecutive victory in the 60 meter hurdles, a discipline in which he has been undefeated for 10 years. He also equaled his second best time over the distance, three hundredths off his own indoor world record.
In the same race, the Frenchman Just Kwaou-Mathey, in good shape since the start of the season, smashed his personal best by finishing in 7 sec 43, two hundredths of Dimitri Bascou’s French record (2016). “I admit that I was looking for the French record but it didn’t work. I’m still super happy and tomorrow I have another chance,” reacted the Frenchman, who continues Sunday with the Paris meeting.
