Dylan Beard has emerged as one of the most exciting hurdlers of the 2025 season, making his presence felt on the European circuit with standout victories. In May, he stormed to victory in the 110 m hurdles at the Boris Hanžeković Memorial in Zagreb, Croatia.
At Paavo Nurmi Games in Turku, Finland, he not only claimed the title but also clocked a season-best 13.16 seconds at that time. Moreover, at the Paris Diamond League on June 20, Beard ran a sensational personal best of 13.02 seconds, earning second place behind fellow American Trey Cunningham.
Meanwhile, the three-time world 110m hurdles champion Grant Holloway suffered another defeat. This comes just a few days back in Paris where he finished fifth.
This season, Holloway has yet to taste victory in a single 110m hurdles final. From the stumble in Xiamen to a second-place finish at the Tom Jones Memorial (where Trey Cunningham edged him out), his usual dominance has been challenged.
