Sydney McLaughlin: Why romantic getaway with husband overpowers rematch with Femke Bol
The 400-meter hurdles champion Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone is currently on a significant personal break, following her recent Olympic triumph.
Holloway’s journey to Olympic gold was far from straightforward as after winning silver at the Tokyo Games in 2020, he knew that the gold was within reach, but that it would require even greater focus and determination.
Now that hashe achieved it, Holloway is already looking ahead, setting his sights on the next challenge: the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.
"Let's keep making this legacy great," Holloway declared. "Michael Jordan didn't stop after he won one world title. He kept going and going and going."
While the victory in Paris is a significant milestone, Holloway is far from complacent.
He arrived at the Olympics undefeated this year, both indoors and out, having set a new world indoor 60m hurdles record at 7.27 seconds in February and claiming the world indoor title in Glasgow.
In late June, he ran a world-leading 12.86 to win the U.S. title in Eugene, Oregon, making him the overwhelming favorite in Paris.
The race itself was intense, with U.S. teammate Daniel Roberts lunging at the finish line to claim silver in 13.09 seconds, narrowly beating Jamaica’s Rasheed Broadbell by three-thousandths of a second in a photo finish.
