Recent form and latest results (2024–2026)
High-level context
Holloway arrived at the elite level as an almost-unbeatable force over the indoor 60m hurdles and as a perennial favourite outdoors. He added the missing major prize — Olympic gold — at Paris 2024, and continued to be a headline name in the Diamond League and major meetings through 2024. However, the 2025–2026 period shows an interruption to his usual calendar and form due to on-track struggles in 2025 and an injury in 2026. (worldathletics.org)
2025 World Championships (Tokyo 2025)
At the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo (September 2025) Holloway failed to reach the final of the 110m hurdles, exiting in the semifinals — a surprise result that opened the door for a new world champion (Cordell Tinch). That semi-final exit is widely reported and marked a notable dip from Holloway’s previous run of global domination. (worldathletics.org)
Early–mid 2026: injury and comeback attempts
Grant Holloway revealed in May 2026 that he tore his hamstring in March 2026 after a strain in January that kept him out of the indoor season. Holloway described “attacking recovery” in public updates and his camp listed him among possible entries for domestic Diamond League / Prefontaine Classic competition. Track Field News and LetsRun reported the hamstring tear and the ongoing rehab process; Holloway did not have a full competitive indoor campaign in 2026. (letsrun.com)
Prefontaine Classic (Eugene) – July 3–4, 2026
Holloway was named in pre-meet entries and previews for the 2026 Prefontaine Classic (Eugene Diamond League), but the official published results for the Men’s 110m hurdles final do not list him among finishers; Jamal Britt won in 12.86 that day. In short: Holloway was linked to the meet in advance, but he did not produce a recorded final result on the Prefontaine Classic result sheet. (Meet coverage and the official result list are cited below.) (eugene.diamondleague.com)
Competitive take
From a results perspective, Holloway’s activity since the 2025 Worlds has been limited by the March 2026 hamstring tear and a conservative rehabilitation approach. Where he normally posts multiple high-level wins per outdoor season, 2025 produced fewer victories and 2026 so far has been focused on recovery and limited race availability. (letsrun.com)
Next confirmed race (status as of 24 August 2026)
As of 24 August 2026 there is no publicly confirmed, published start-list appearance showing Grant Holloway running a completed 110m hurdles final after the Prefontaine Classic entry period. He was listed as an entry for the Eugene Diamond League / Prefontaine Classic card (July 3–4, 2026) in pre-meet materials but does not appear in the event final results. Holloway has not published a publicly-verified calendar of further confirmed Diamond League or championship starts beyond that window. If and when Holloway’s camp posts an updated entry list or his agent confirms race dates, those should be treated as the authoritative upcoming schedule. (preclassic.com)
