Quincy Wilson garnered a lot of attention from his fans after he arrived at Homecoming 2024 in a Rolls-Royce with Masai Russell's sister, Solai Russell. The 16-year-old became the youngest American athlete in history to win a gold medal at the Olympics.

Wilon attained the limelight in 2024 after his exceptional performance during the Paris Olympics. He etched his name in the history books by becoming the youngest athlete to represent the USA in the 4x400m relay event. Although he did not get a chance to compete in the finals of the event, he helped the team by competing in the heats of the event, where he ran a leg of 47.27s.

Considering his contribution in the event, he was also awarded a gold medal after Rai Benjamin, Christopher Bailey, Bryce Deadmon, and Vernon Norwood secured a first-place win in the finals. Weeks after this accomplishment, Quincy Wilson turned heads with his homecoming look and his glamorous white Rolls-Royce Ghost.

The American shared a bunch of pictures on his Instagram account where he was seen wearing a white shirt layered with a beige-colored coat and paired the attire with black sunglasses. He went to the homecoming in his Rolls-Royce, hand in hand with Solai Russell. ESPN re-shared this on their Instagram handle and wrote:

"Quincy Wilson really went from winning an Olympic gold medal to pulling up to hoco in the Rolls-Royce, and he's only 16."

This captured the attention of a lot of fans, who commended the 16-year-old's success after his Olympic exploits. One of them commented:

"That boy got his money up tho."

Another fan joked about the athlete's car insurance and said:

"I bet his car insurance price is ridiculous 😂 "

Commending Wilson's success, another follower chimed in:

"ENJOY EVERY MOMENT OF YOUR SUCCESS YOUNG MAN. ✊🏾💯🏅"

Here are some other fan reactions:

"This goes unfathomably hard 😭🙏🏾"

"Let him cook. He is working with hard discipline for all of it. ❤️🙌🔥"

"Rumble young man Rumble! 🔥 "

Quincy Wilson revealed that he did not run his best during the Paris Olympics

After clinching the gold medal for the 4x400m relay event at the Paris Olympics, Quincy Wilson called it a 'dream come true' in an interview with the Olympics.com. Along with this, he also admitted that he did not run his best in the race and appreciated his team.

"This was a dream come true. I didn't run my best, but I knew I had a great team on my hands. I wasn't nervous, I was 100% myself."

He further spoke about doing better in the upcoming Olympics and drew experience from Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, who won her second Olympic 400m hurdles gold medal at the 2024 Summer Games.

"I know I have multiple world championships, multiple Olympics to go to, so it’s one of many. I will keep looking up, keeping out here like Sydney McLaughlin. So I will come back and get better for next year. This is just but a start."

Quincy Wilson was recently recognized as a Power 100 honoree by Ebony Magazine in the Generation Next category.
