Blinksportsnews247Quincy Wilson, the American sprint wonder, has tweeted his gratitude for all of the support he has gotten since being the youngest track and field Olympic gold medalist in history.
Wilson, who was only 16 years old, was a key member of Team USA’s 4×400-meter relay winning squad. Even though he did not compete in the championship race, his performance in the heats was sufficient to secure a gold medal and solidify his legacy.
However, despite being in the relay pool, Wilson wasn’t chosen to run on the mixed 4×400-meter team that eventually won silver, limiting his chances to represent the U.S. on the global stage.
Yet, upon returning to the States, the young athlete was met with overwhelming support, a testament to the impact he has already made. In a live interview with NBC, Wilson expressed his gratitude, saying, “It feels amazing. I can’t believe all the support coming here.
It feels amazing to have represented my country and my state and most definitely put it on for the DMV.” He continued, “It is amazing. You want to be in the spotlight. A 16-year old athlete just coming out here and doing your best.
