I'm so proud of him!!! So polite and so humble.
This young man is impressive for his talent and maturity. He shared words to live by for anyone. He is an example of good home training in a loving family.
You said good home training!!!!Applaud the parents too!!!!
The good home training comes from the parent.@jarmawrighten9798
Wonderful! He is also mature beyond his years. And calling the interviewer, “sir” you know 1, he is still a youngster and 2, his is well raised by his parents. So sweet!
It couldn't happen to a better guy. God bless him. Credit to his folks, coach and support structure.
I was there in person at the Olympic Trials to see Quincy race. He got a standing ovation from all of us. It was so awesome to see this young man race in person. I will definitely be cheering him on at the Olympics but also in the years to come! 😃🏃🏿➡️
What's amazing is that this kid is still growing and running sub 45s. The sky is the limit for him.
Why does he have boobs, is he trans?
@@liberty5069 Oh, 👌 👏 😍 👍 👌
What a awesome young man. Team Quincy all the way 🙌🏾
Congratulations Quincy my husband and I are so proud of you. As a family we are all so so proud of you and can't wait to celebrate your Olympic win. Sending our prayers and love to you.
Congratulations to the Family of Quincy Wilson, you have raised a Great Young Man. May God continue to Bless your Family. Continue to make America Proud🇺🇸🏃🏾♂️
Congratulations young man keep up the good work. We are so proud of you. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Young man has heart and he deserves this! Blessings to you and your family. You will do great!
What a nice young man.
Yes! What a pleasure to hear him speak and express his thoughts so elegantly with teenage gallant. I loved it!
Congratulations young man! Very proud of you!
He is a blessed, confident, amazing champion ❤
So proud of you, Quincy. Setting milestones and history. Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉
Respect quincy,I do not know u ,but I am glad for u my son.may God keep u healthy thru out life ,and your athletic career.nuff luv❤.
I'm a high school counselor in the DMV area and I am blown away by how intelligent this stunt athlete is! What a great well out together interview. Very authentic and nature speaker. He answered every question thoroughly without missing a beat! Congratulations and if companies out there have not signed this young man to multi million dollar contracts what are you waiting for!!! Nevermind track he will make millions for companies! Great job Quincy! You are a Star and role model for the world!
“Blown away with how intelligent this stunt athlete is” I am blown away at this micro aggression you just made as if young African American men are not intelligent. Sounds as if you are well meaning but your choice of words are lacking.
I agree with what you meant to say/write; as well as what you wrote my dear high school counselor. MS Spell/grammar check is your friend (as it is mine, because typos happen as our minds fly faster than our fingers lol, and we should always strive to improve our command of grammar.) I mean this kindly.
Congratulations Quincy! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is a well raised young man. God will continue to bless him. I was literally jumping up and down each time he competed. Especially in the finals. He was running his heart out. Love him.
Quincy, awesome! I was praying to God asking Him to find favor with you to make the Olympic team! Blessings to you!

What an amazing talent and an even better young man. Kudos to your parents and your entire support system. They've done a P H E N O M E N A L job! It's so refreshing to see this level of respect and poise from today's youth.
What an amazing accomplishment. I have watched since your Freshman year, and again at this years Penn Relays. Though I was happy that our Jamaican athletes prevailed at Penn’s, you were a fierce competitor. Watching you compete in Oregon for the U.S. trials was a joy, and so happy you got the well deserved call to be part of the relay pool. With such great interviewing skills, you are destined for greatness.
You are the Olympian of the year for me, Quincy ❤. The youngest ever, oh wow!!! We will be on the lookout for you all the way from Fiji 🇫🇯 🙌 😀 🎉❤🎉😊s🎉.
Best wishes, Go Quincy Go❤
The youngest male ever. The youngest ever was a 15 year old female.
Congratulations on making history.

I had to revisit when I was 16 years old ,and he is a legend
Congratulations to a great young man who competes like a pro and interviews like a pro. I wish him much success in Paris and beyond. His parents are beeming with pride about the son they raised.

YAYYYY I’m witnessing historyyy!❤ Nobody what Quincy, never let anything or anyone make you dim or lose your light. Remember that you are special and amazing no matter what. 🔥
12:12-12:17 he said "little things like that". Dude! Olympian is NOT a little thing! That's HUGE! Just shows how big of a dreamer he is! Good for him!
U misunderstood what he intended to say. He meant the little “act” of putting Olympian in his bio.
It was so exciting to watch him, and I'm thrilled that he made the team! 🥳🎆
Congratulations, Quincy! You are truly an inspiration. Go get that Gold Metal.
Intelligent and Talented. May he have great success in his future endeavors! An Olympian at 16--WOW!!!!
