Rollins, Castlin and Ali Put On Show Of USA Dominance 

By Chris Nickinson

The USA has a wealth of female hurdlers but fate has a funny way of intervening. At last year's world championships the USA was left off the podium. This year's fastest hurdler, Keni Harrison, had to settle for a world record after failing to make the Olympic team in July.

Depite the trio of Brianna Rollins, Nia Ali and Kristi Castlin making the final nothing was certain.

In the end, history was made. A first ever sweep of the medals in the 100m hurdles brough in tons of praise.

History making !@Bri_Rollin @ItsPooda @KristiHollywood #Congrats123#thebest#friends#winners
