The world of men’s 110m hurdles is going through a seismic shake-up, and no one is safe, not even the reigning king. Just weeks ago at the Ostrava Diamond League, the track world gasped in disbelief. Grant Holloway, the Olympic champion and master of consistency, seemed to have another race under control—until the final 20 meters. Out of nowhere, Dylan Beard surged with the fury of a man possessed and clipped Holloway at the line by a mere 0.001 seconds. Yes, one-thousandth of a second. That’s how narrow the margins are now. But the tremors didn’t stop there.
In Paris, the hurdles landscape shifted again. This time, Holloway didn’t even make the podium. It was Trey Cunningham who ruled the day, with Beard once again showing he’s no flash in the pan—he took second. The throne is wobbling, and challengers are circling. And just as the drama reached a boiling point, another twist hit—this time in Kingston.
At the JAAA National Senior Championships, Rasheed Broadbell came in with fire in his eyes and a mission on his mind: secure his spot for the World Championships in Tokyo. In the semifinal, he looked the part, storming past Tokyo Olympic champion Hansle Parchment with a commanding 13.27 (-0.2 m/s). Everything pointed toward a showdown in the final. Broadbell was primed, and the title was within reach. Then, the unthinkable happened.
Rasheed Broabell has withdrawn from the men’s 110m hurdles final at the JAAA Championships.
He reportedly hit into a hurdle in warmup and was appearing in discomfort.

As the finalists were announced, Broadbell’s name was missing. Whispers filled the stadium. Word spread that he had clipped a hurdle during warmups and was visibly in discomfort. Moments later, it was confirmed: Broadbell had withdrawn. Just like that, his World Championship dream vanished.
