ATHLETICS American youngster Quincy Wilson reacts after beating Usain Bolt's 400m record
Quincy Wilson has reacted after beating Usain Bolt's and Kirani James' records in the 400m.
Recently, he recorded a new New Balance Indoor track meet time, clocking 45.76s to defend his 400m, surpassing the record set by Elzie Coleman in 2004.
Now, Wilson has expressed his gratefulness for the brand which has also given him the opportunity to do things like do shoe giveaways, as he donated some gear to his Wayman Good Hope AME Church last Christmas.
“New Balance is great, they give you a lot of opportunities you (ordinarily) don’t get to explore as a high school (student) and even as an African American male, you never really get the chance to do it,” Wilson told Fitz Dunk.
“I am just glad to be one of the African representatives. Being the youngest person in track and field to have a shoe deal, so to have the whole world is just amazing.”
