Bollywood Fever: Quincy Wilson made history at the Paris Olympics, becoming the youngest-ever male track and field gold medalist at just 16 years old.
The Virginia native earned his place on the podium as part of the United States’ 4×400 meter relay team, where he ran the opening leg in the first round, helping Team USA advance to the finals.
Although Wilson didn’t compete in the final race, he still secured a gold medal when the United States claimed victory ahead of runner-up Botswana.
Since his historic win, Wilson has continued to capture the public’s attention, becoming one of the breakout stars of the Paris Olympics. Upon returning home, he resumed his high school life but hasn’t slowed down in the spotlight.
Wilson recently showcased his athletic prowess in a different arena. On September 1, the Washington Nationals invited the young Olympian to throw out the ceremonial first pitch at their game against the Chicago Cubs.
The Nationals, clearly impressed by Wilson’s speed and success, even gave him a fitting new nickname.
“The FASTEST KID ALIVE,” the team declared in a post on X, accompanied by a photo of Wilson proudly displaying his Olympic gold medal.
As Wilson continues to build on his remarkable achievements, fans eagerly watch to see what this multi-talented teenager will conquer next.
