However, the bigger shock came from Olympic champion Grant Holloway.
Holloway, a heavy pre-race favorite, landed awkwardly after the seventh hurdle and faded badly, ultimately finishing 10th in 13.72s, the last place.
It marks Holloway’s second loss in just a week, a rare dip for the dominant hurdler who had not suffered consecutive defeats in over a year.
