Teenage sprinting sensation Quincy Wilson made history by becoming the youngest ever US male track Olympian at just 16 years old. Wilson showcased his talent in the 4x400-meter relay, running the first leg for Team USA. The American quartet secured a spot in the final with an impressive time of 2:59.15, finishing third behind Botswana and Team GB.
Wilson's pre-race ritual of bacon, eggs, and waffles has been a constant since he was 8 years old. In a recent interview, Wilson expressed his belief that this meal gives him the energy he needs to perform on the track. His dedication paid off as he clocked a remarkable time of 47.30 during his leg of the relay.
Prior to the race, Wilson took to Instagram to build anticipation, urging his followers to tune in for his performance. Born in 2008, Wilson has quickly risen through the ranks to establish himself as a promising young star in track and field.
Although Wilson fell short in qualifying for the individual 400 meters at the US Olympic trials, he has proven his worth as part of the relay pool in Paris. His presence on the world stage alongside seasoned teammates highlights his potential and sets the stage for a bright future in the sport.
