World 60mH record holder Grant Holloway was left disappointed with the actions of a Chinese man who invaded his privacy during his preparations before the start of the World Indoor Championships in Nanjing.

In a shocking revelation by Olympic champion Grant Holloway, the American hurdling star disclosed how a Chinese man disrespected his privacy while taking pictures ahead of the World Indoor Championships in Nanjing.

The 60mH World Record (WR) holder who has been unbeaten in the event since 2014, is in Nanjing to defend his indoor title and is among the few track stars competing at the championship.

In anticipation of the three-day championship scheduled to begin from March 21 - 23rd, Holloway took a day off to tour the city and meet with fans but was left disappointed with the actions of a Chinese man who invaded his privacy.

Tweeting about his experience, the three-time world outdoor champion expressed his disappointment on his X page.

"I think Chinese culture is great, but they have a different concept of personal space. A man touched my ass while we were taking a picture and commented "mmm very muscular." I didn't know how to respond, so I just froze. Anyway, I suppose it's a compliment to be considered fit," he wrote.

Holloway will be gunning to win his third consecutive world 60mH title, which if successful will make him the first hurdler in history to achieve such a feat.
