Three-time world champion Grant Holloway cruised into the final of men's 110m hurdles after winning his Olympic semi-final in Paris on Wednesday.

Text size:

The 26-year-old American streaked home in an impressive 12.98sec, finishing far ahead of the rest of the field after a dynamite start.

European silver medallist Enrique Llopis of Spain booked the other automatic spot from the first of three semis in 13.17sec.

Jamaican Hansle Parchment, the defending Olympic champion, could only finish third in 13.19sec although he qualified as one of the two next fastest finishers along with Japan's Rachid Muratake.

Holloway will be joined in the final, scheduled for 1945 GMT on Thursday, by two other Americans, Freddie Crittenden and Daniel Roberts.

Crittenden came in second behind Jamaican Rasheed Broadbell, the winner of the second semi in 13.21sec.

Roberts came in on the coattails of Jamaican Orlando Bennett, who won the third semi in 13.09sec.
