Why? If we can’t appreciate the successes in the sport, what’s the point of watching it and enjoying it? Did you ever get enough of Carl Lewis; Usain Bolt; Bob Beamon; Michael Johnson…etc.? The list is long. Chill and enjoy. It does wonders for the soul.
Can we please SHUT UP about Quincy Wilson?

True. If he was 6 ft tall and jacked he would be theatening to most of the middle aged white men on this board. He would be guilty of being too black.

He Might Run 43 In The Semi's or Finals that 44.66 looked VERY EASY, 43.87 is The World Junior Record, I think it is Possiple in a few Days

Holy sh!t. Everywhere you go, especially on social media, there are people glazing the hell out of this kid like he's the second coming of Jesus.
He's impressive, yes, but if we're being real, he's nothing we haven't already seen before
What about Jonathan Simms? Ran 45.12 as a sophomore last season, yet gets nowhere near as much recognition as Quincy does for running slower times at that.
What about Tyreese Cooper? Yes, I know how he ended up, and it's sad. But we can't forget how much he achieved when he was at his prime. 45.2 as a freshman is indisputable.
He runs one 1:50 800M and people start assuming he's gonna get the 1:46.45 800M national record.
How can we be so sure Quincy isn't just gonna burn out and become like every other high school phenom we see? I'd sure hope not, as I like the kid myself, but people need to lay off the damn pressure.
He is not the second Coming of Jesus, but he is The Male Version of Mary Cain, who was head and Shoulders better than anyone in the World her age, Hopefully Quincy Wilson is Mentally stronger Than Mary Cain and calls him fat (He is NOT Fat and Cain was NOT Fat when her Coach called her that, but she let it destroy her, hopefully Quincy Wilson is not that weak mentally.
