American sprint hurdler Cordell Tinch is fast becoming the man to beat in the 110m hurdles alongside Olympic champion Grant Holloway.
is fast becoming the man to beat in the 110m hurdles alongside Olympic champion Grant Holloway.
The American stunned an elite field featuring the Olympic champion and fellow American sprint hurdlers Daniel Roberts and Freddie Crittenden.
Tinch held off strong challenges from Japan's Rachid Muratake, who finished second in 13.14s, and China's Junxi Liu, who took third with a time of 13.24s.
However, the American now turns his focus to the Shanghai Diamond League, with three Jamaicans out to thwart his ascent.
3. Orlando Bennett
Often overshadowed by his higher-profile teammates, Orlando Bennett is the sleeper in this battle.
The Jamaican's technique is sharp, and he’s capable of producing strong finishes, having already ran a season's best of 13.39, milliseconds shy of his personal best of 13.09 seconds so early in the season.
2. Rasheed Broadbell
Rasheed Broadbell is the most explosive of the Jamaican trio. His breakout 2022 season, where he clocked a world-leading 12.94s, announced his arrival on the big stage.
The 2022 Commonwealth Games Champion combines raw speed with aggressive hurdling, though consistency has occasionally eluded him.
If Broadbell gets a clean start and finds rhythm early, he has the speed to build an insurmountable lead.
1. Hansle Parchment
Hansle Parchment is the most decorated of the trio and a master tactician on the track.
Known for his elite hurdling technique, Parchment thrives in high-pressure championship environments.
While he may not always be the fastest starter, his rhythm over the final hurdles is unmatched, often reeling in his competitors in the last 30 meters.
Parchment’s experience and race IQ give him the ability to stay composed even when trailing early.
If Tinch leaves a window open late in the race, the Jamaican veteran is capable of capitalizing with a late surge.
Tinch enters Shanghai with momentum, but the Jamaican trio brings a dangerous blend of experience, power, and technique.
