Stanley Grant Holloway OLY[citation needed] (born November 19, 1997)[11] is an American professional hurdler and sprinter. He is a three-time world champion (2019 Doha, 2022 Eugene and 2023 Budapest), 2024 Paris Olympic gold medalist in the 110 meters hurdles and the second-fastest man in history at the event with a personal best of 12.81 seconds, set at the U.S. Olympic Trials on June 26, 2021. In the 60 meters hurdles, Holloway is the 2022 Belgrade and 2024 Glasgow World Indoor champion and the world indoor record holder with a time of 7.27 seconds set at the 2024 USA Track & Field Indoor Championships.

Despite being a hurdler, he showed incredible versatility whilst competing for the University of Florida, by also doing the flat races, relays and long jump. His incredible range was a driving force in Florida's team performances at the NCAA Championships. In the six NCAA Championships Holloway competed in between 2017 and 2018, Florida won three and finished second in the other three. As of February 2024, he had not lost an indoor sprint hurdles race since March 2014, when he was 16 years old.
