The summer games are in full stride, witnessing record-shattering speeds across multiple events. We saw Noah Lyles’ blistering 9.79 run, enabling him to claim the 100m gold. Then there’s Katie Ledecky, the American swimming sensation who blitzed through the 1,500-meter freestyle in a record-breaking 15:30.02 runtime. And who could forget Léon Marchand, the French swimming prodigy who spearheaded the nation’s golden hope, shattering the record of swimming legend Michael Phelps with a runtime of 4:02.95 in the 400m individual medley?

Then there’s Quincy Hall, a perfect blend of speed and strength. The American track and field athlete specializes in 400m and 400m hurdles, which take more than speed to conquer the game. It takes a massive amount of strength as well to race past those hurdles to touch the finish line in the winning time. Now, his blend of speed and strength has taken him to the Olympic tracks, where he is set to compete in the 400m finals. Whether he wins or not, we will see in time, but before that, let’s take a look at how fast Quincy Hall is on track.
