Grant Holloway is the reigning world champion, Olympic silver medalist and second-fastest man in history for the 110m hurdles. He is a professional hurdler for adidas running and we recorded this from the adidas hospitality suite in Eugene, Oregon last weekend at the USATF Outdoor Championships. He’s one of the most fun personalities in the sport and I’m sure you’ll have some laughs in this episode because it’s hosted by Jasmine Todd and Katelyn Hutchison.
They host the Out of The Blocks podcast within the CITIUS MAG Podcast network. They were two breakout stars this weekend in the mixed zone. They are both part of the Magic Boost Program aimed at improving the diversity within the people covering the sport and it was so amazing to see athletes open up to them and express themselves in different ways from some of the more traditional media. They bring out some of the best in athletes in ways others can’t.
You can watch the full episode on the CITIUS MAG YouTube channel but also catch the conversation in podcast form on Spotify and Apple Podcasts by searching 'Out of The Blocks with Jasmine Todd and Katelyn Hutchison'.
