16-year-old Quincy Wilson receives a pleasant surprise from Dunkin' after being the youngest US male track athlete to win gold at Paris Olympics

Quincy Wilson expressed gratitude to Dunkin' for sending him customized cupcakes in honor of his Olympic success. The 16-year-old made his Olympic debut in Paris and won the coveted gold as part of the men's 4x400m relay team.

At the quadrennian event, Wilson ran the opening leg in the men's 4x400m relay and clocked 47.27s to finish seventh when handing the baton to Vernon Norwood. The US finished third behind Great Britain and Botswana in 2:59.15 and qualified for the final.

Wilson did not run in the final where the Americans clocked an Olympic record time of 2:54.4, thus clinching gold

After etching his name as the youngest-ever US male track Olympic gold medalist at 16, Wilson took to his Instagram handle to flaunt a gift sent to him by Dunkin'. The American multinational coffee and donut company customized the cupcakes with Wilson's Olympic gold podium moment as the topping.

Donning a Dunkin' sweatshirt and pink bowl cap, the 16-year-old was seen smiling with the cupcakes on the table in front. His caption read:

"thank you @dunkin"
