Quincy Hall secured a dramatic victory in the men's 400 meters at the 2024 Paris Olympics, clocking in at 43.40 seconds, the fourth-fastest time ever. Hall, initially in fourth place, surged ahead in the final 100 meters to overtake Britain's Matthew Hudson-Smith and Zambia's Muzala Samukonga, who finished second and third, respectively. This marks the first 400m gold for an American since LaShawn Merritt in 2008. Hall's win continues a streak of come-from-behind victories for the U.S. team, following Noah Lyles' win in the 100 meters and Cole Hocker's in the 1500 meters. Hall celebrated with a snow angel on the track, becoming a symbol of resilience and determination.
