American Grant Holloway cruised into the semifinals of the Paris Olympics 110m hurdles in impressive style at the Stade de France on Sunday.
But reigning champion Hansle Parchment of Jamaica could only advance as one of the fastest qualifiers after finishing fifth in his heat, outside the automatic top three spots.
"I'm looking forward to continue each round and obviously it's the Olympic Games so you've got to be on your Ps and Qs each round," Holloway said. "I could have done a little better the first half of the race, but that's what rounds are for. As long as I'm able to get better each round, that's the main thing."
