Quincy Hall took a hilarious jibe at Fred Kerley and his teammates as they gear up to take center stage at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The American quarter-miler reacted to a team picture from the Paris Olympics opening ceremony posted by Fred Kerley and mentioned that he was not 'credited'.
Quincy Hall is the world leader in the 400m and is one of the top prospects for the podium in the men's quarter mile. The American athlete dominated the line-up in the U.S. Olympic Track and Field trials in June to clinch the gold medal and confirm his spot in the team.
Weeks later, he went on to clock his personal best in the 400m at the Monaco Diamond League with a time of 43.80s. Hall was a part of Team USA's contingent in the Paris Olympics opening ceremony and shared glimpses of his experience on Instagram.
However, Quincy Hall took a hilarious jibe at his teammates on X (formerly Twitter), calling them out for not crediting him. Hall retweeted a picture posted by American sprinter Fred Kerley featuring Team USA athletes and claimed to sue the person who posted the picture.
" Sueing anyone that posted this picture 🤷🏾♂️ I don’t care if we teammates I didn’t get credited not once C y’all in court 💯," he tweeted.
