“It’s just about building a legacy. I have been doing this for so long. I have accomplished all my goals. It’s just about motivating the youth and continuing to build whatever I need to. I don’t want to be the greatest of all time. When people start calling themselves that, they get worse,” said Holloway.

The three time world champion was followed in second place by Jakub Szymański from Poland who set a National Record of 7.41 with Olympic and world finalist Fred Crittenden sealing the podium in 7.54.
