For more than a decade, Grant Holloway has been one of the most consistent names in global hurdling. Since beginning his athletics journey in 2013—and especially after transitioning to the senior 110m hurdles in 2017—the American has built a reputation for dominance, particularly indoors.

But 2026 has brought an unusual silence.

For the first time in his career, Holloway did not compete in a single indoor 60m hurdles race this season—an event in which he has famously never lost. His absence immediately raised questions across the athletics world, especially given how synonymous he has become with indoor hurdling excellence.

What makes the situation even more intriguing is that, now into May 2026, Holloway is yet to open his outdoor season as well. His last recorded race remains the 110m hurdles semifinal at the World Championships in Tokyo in September 2025.

Since then, there has been little public clarity about his condition, training, or competitive plans. No major appearances. No season opener. Just speculation.

The only concrete indication of a return so far is his announced entry for the Prefontaine Classic on July 4—one of the marquee events on the Diamond League circuit.

Until then, one of track and field’s biggest stars remains a mystery.
