Quincy Wilson is one of the best stories of the 2024 Paris Olympics.
He’s just 16 years old and made history as the youngest men’s track and field athlete in U.S. Olympics history. He ended up winning gold by competing in the heats for the 4×400 relay, even though he wasn’t on the squad that ran the final.
But the kid had a reality check, as he noted on X (formerly Twitter).
“Dang, I really got school in 2 and a half weeks,” he wrote as he showed off his gold medal. That’s just amazing when you think about it and sums it all up.
