The American, who triumphed in 2019 in Qatar and 2022 in his home country, had the lead after the 1^st hurdle, and by the 3^rd, he was sprinting by himself at the top, finishing with the best time in the current year – 12.96 seconds.

Grant held up 3 fingers after finishing the race, hollering “One-two-three!” as the fans loved it.

“I’m very happy now,” Holloway shared after winning the gold medal. “Nothing feels like the 1^st one, but every title has a special place in my heart.”

Jamaican Hansle Parchment won the silver medal, while the bronze medal went to Grant’s compatriot, Daniel Roberts.

Holloway’s greatest goal will be to win the gold at the Olympics in Paris next year, as he finished 2^nd at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021.

A hat-trick of world titles! 🥇🥇🥇
