Another race gone to the ashes while flaunting the same technique—come from behind and take away the victory! But this time it wasn’t in the rapid 100m or the steady 1500m; rather, the 400m witnessed the occurrence, and all credit goes to Quincy Hall. Up to 300m, the British athlete Matthew Hudson-Smith had been consolidating his lead over the chasing pack. But in the last 100m, the American sprinter grabbed the show with his run, which could only give off a vibe of El Niño—the storm that minds no blockade. Ultimately, Quincy crossed the finish line in 43.40 seconds, finishing at the top of the men’s 400m final today. The fans didn’t miss a beat. 

Last night, Cole Hocker claimed the gold medal in the 1500m event, applying the same strategy. Today, Quincy’s perfect emulation of that trick gave him the 400m title, while Matthew earned the runner-up title. One fan noticed the fact and commented, “That’s an outrageous heist from Quincy Hall in the 400m. He absolutely ate up the ground.”  Notably, in the 400m race today, Quincy was in the fourth position when the pack entered the last 30 m distance. In that phase, one needs some superhuman ability to generate the pace. The reason is simple. 

The biomechanical analysis shows that the human body faces some grueling tests in the 400m races. The combination of aerobic and anaerobic biological processes in the body during the sprint makes the job tiresome. As per the studies shared by Outperform, in 300–400 m, the lactic acid stores at the maximum amount in the muscles because aerobic energy falls short of filling up the gaps. So, enabling the muscles to generate a higher pace becomes an almost impossible job. But today, Quincy Hall emphasized that nothing is impossible. 

Ultimately, his timing today earned him a position on the record list in the men’s 400m event. Quincy is the fourth fastest 400m sprinter on that list. For runner-up Matthew Hudson – Smith, there were achievements, aside from clinching the silver medal. 

Today, his timing was the fastest non-winning timing ever (43.44) in the 400m event. Naturally, the fans felt overwhelmed watching the race, which irked biology. The reactions came with the same color. 

Fans claim Quincy Hall made the sprint look too easy 

Michael Johnson knows what it takes to cover the 400m event and that too, on the highest platform. He had the American record set in the event. Although, his timing remained better than Quincy’s attempt today. But interestingly, MJ shared a few anecdotes about his successor at the event. 

After the final results went to the air, Johnson penned an accompanying post for the Kansas native. It said, “If I know nothing else, I know 400m talent! Congrats @QuincyHall400 No longer “the next” Now Olympic Champion!” A few weeks ago, the veteran had spoken highly of him and touted him as “Could be the next…. “. He eventually projected Hall as the favorite to win the Olympic medal at the Paris Olympics. Quincy Hall is in that zone right now. Above all, he has made the event look easy. 

A fan echoed that achievement in the words. The lines are, “Regardless of time. Running 400m should not look this easy! Then you add that he did it in under 44s is crazyyyyy!!!!” Several followers claimed it was jogging. If such a sport ever makes it into the Olympics, fans think that Quincy will take away that title as well. 

Reflecting on that, someone added, “that’s some next level jogging, must be the new olympic sport.” Meanwhile, people still cherished Quincy’s pace, which had come later, almost in the final steps of the event, and left everyone behind. “holy shit Quincy Hall just had an INSANE comeback in the last stretch of the Men’s 400m”. 

Several track followers cheered Quincy Hall because of his bravado in an event that tests the human body by every means. Reminded that part, one penned, “Arguably the hardest race to run in track. He made it look easy.” Eventually, he made it look easy because of his talent. Fans will want to see the flare of such talent more often.
