Holloway, Jackson and Holmes on USA team for Nanjing

World record-holder Grant Holloway has been confirmed as part of the USA team for the World Athletics Indoor Championships Nanjing 25.

The Olympic and multiple world champion will defend his 60m hurdles title at the event in China that takes place from 21-23 March.

Holloway is a two-time world indoor gold medallist and he will be looking to maintain his remarkable decade-long win streak in the discipline.

He features on a 56-strong US squad for Nanjing and will be joined by four other individual medallists from last year’s World Indoor Championships in Glasgow: Alexis Holmes, Chase Jackson, Sam Kendricks and Monae' Nichols.
