American runners are refusing to quit in Paris.
Quincy Hall became the latest U.S. runner to score an Olympic gold medal with a ridiculous comeback in the 400 meters on Wednesday.
The 26-year-old sprinted from fourth to first in a stunning finish in Saint-Denis, passing Britain’s Matthew Hudson-Smith and Muzala Samukonga of Zambia en route to the fourth-fastest finish time ever, 43:40.
Hall dropped to the track and celebrated by doing a snow angel.
His scintillating win comes a day after Cole Hocker secured a gold for the Americans with a come-from-behind shocker in the men’s 1500.
On Sunday, Noah Lyles rebounded from a slow start, coming all the way back from seventh position to take home top prize in the 100 meters with a photo finish in which he threw his torso over the line to edge out Jamaica’s Kishane Thompson by just 0.005 seconds.
With his fast-and-furious rally, Hall became the U.S.’s first Olympic 400M winner since LaShawn Merrit in 2008.
