Paris Olympics 2024: Who is Grant Holloway's girlfriend? Time, date and how to stream men's 110m hurdles final
PARIS, FRANCE: American hurdler and sprinter Grant Holloway braces to participate in the Olympics 2024, scheduled to take place from July 26 to August 11, 2024.
This year, France is hosting 10,714 athletes from 206 nations for the multi-sports event that is expected to cost €9 billion.
In the Tokyo Olympics, Team USA's Grant Holloway narrowly missed earning the gold for his country after being defeated by Jamaican hurdler Hansle Parchment at the men's 110-meter hurdles final. He took home the silver medal, finishing the race in 13.09 seconds.
As he returns for another attempt, aiming for gold, here's a sneak peek into his personal life, including his relationship with Katie Chronister.
Who is Katie Chronister?
Grant Holloway is dating another athlete, Katie Chronister, who is a standout softball player. Both Holloway and Chronister have made no efforts to hide their relationship and their social media pages are filled with photos of the couple. He has also spoken about her in interviews before.
Katie Chronister was born on February 22, 1998, and is based out of Gainesville, Florida. She has a twin, Jac Chronister. Although Jac was assigned female at birth, they prefer gender-neutral pronouns. Jac is a boxer and has been married to Katie Brophy since June 2021.
The twins' father Chris is a laboratory manager at the University of Florida while their mother Kim is a local occupational therapist. All the family members have been supportive of Jac's LGBTQ+ status, with Katie even lauding her twin as an inspiration on social media.
Katie attended Gainesville High School, becoming the student body secretary and junior class president. She started her sports career in high school and before graduating in 2016, recorded impressive stats and was named 2016 PGF All-American, 2016 Meldon Law Scholar-Athlete of the Year, 2016 Florida Gatorade Player of the Year, 2016 Gainesville Sun Softball Big School Player of the Year, among other honors.
She made her Gators debut in 2017 after committing to the University of Florida. She also made the SEC Academic Honor Roll four years in a row. Holloway and Katie became an exclusive couple on August 2, 2017, after he enrolled in the same university at the same time as his girlfriend. However, Katie ended up graduating a year ahead of Holloway.
Katie then pursued a master’s degree in sports management after having earned her bachelor’s degree in health and human performance.
Ahead of Tokyo Olympics in 2021, Katie extended support to her boyfriend's Olympic dream, posting a picture of them together just days before the men's 110-meter hurdles final, and captioning it, "This year has been special, let’s just start with the fact that you’re in Toyko about to compete in the Olympics. Who else can say that they are spending their 4-year anniversary praying for their partner’s health and confidence going into the games. You have a knack for making the people around you feel loved, and that can’t even fully express the way you make me feel. Here’s to you, here’s to us. I love you always. P.s. we look like babies in our throwbacks."
Similarly, Holloway has been supportive of his girlfriend's sports career. He is also romantic at heart and sometimes posts mushy pictures and captions for her.
