The World Indoor Track and Field Championships in Nanjing, China, air live from Thursday through Sunday on Peacock with additional coverage on NBC and CNBC.
The fields feature Olympic 110m hurdles champion Grant Holloway, who bids to become the first person to win three consecutive World Indoor 60m hurdles titles.
Holloway has won more than 70 consecutive 60m hurdles races dating to his last defeat in 2014 as a high school sophomore, according to track and field results database Tilastopaja.info.
The standard high hurdles distance for outdoor meets like the Olympics is 110 meters for men and 100 meters for women. For indoor meets, it’s 60 meters.
The U.S. roster for worlds also includes Sam Kendricks (two-time world outdoor pole vault champion), Chase Jackson (two-time world outdoor shot put champion) and Josh Hoey, who last month ran the second-fastest indoor 800m in history.
