After the U.S. Track and Field Olympic Trials, the U.S. national track and field team for the Paris Olympics will be officially announced on July 8. This is a fact confirmed by the American Athletics.
But the American media first got a big news from the athletes: 16-year-old Quincy Wilson will represent the United States in the men's 4x400m relay at the Paris Olympics.
The United States Track and Field Association should require athletes and head coaches to have confidentiality obligations, but some people just can't hold back, let alone children born in 2008? Wilson said on his Instagram last weekend that he would be competing in the Olympics. And his coach confirmed it to The Washington Post and USA Today.
The coach said he first received a call from the United States Track and Field and then relayed it to Wilson.
The reporter approached the United States Track and Field again, but the Association refused to confirm it. It is only emphasized that the full list will be published on July 8. But this matter should not be far from ten.
Quincy Wilson broke the U18 world junior record twice in the men's 400m at last week's U.S. Track and Field Olympics. The best time was 44.59 seconds in the semi-finals, and he finished sixth in 44.94 seconds.
Theoretically, sixth place could compete in the relay, but the choice is up to the United States Track and Field here. Now, the U.S. Athletics Association is still happy to see such a talented teenager participate in the Olympics.
If successful, Quincy Wilson, who was born on January 8, 2008 and is now 16 years and 6 months old, will become the youngest U.S. male track and field Olympian ever.
If he runs the preliminaries, and the U.S. team ends up winning the Olympic title. Undoubtedly, another Olympic legend.
