NATIONAL RECORD! Andrew Salvodon UPSETS Quincy Wilson, 500m U.S. High School Record At VA Showcase

[@TheHuskyK9]

This is the adversity Quincy needs to improve. Going to the Olympics at 16 makes you feel invincible, but now this opens the door on what he needs to improve on. Stay humble, young man.

Congrats to the winner, would love to see a rematch later in the season in the open 400m outdoor. Indoor is hard to navigate after being tripped up no matter how big or small the trip is. Either way it throws off your momentum, hard to try to come back in a situation like that when your competition has just about the same speed as you.

[@traderstatusquo]

@ I hear you, and not denying that. To be quite frank, that "bump" happened 3-4 seconds into the race, he had 55+ seconds to recover, and his form was just wasted energy. It looked like he was drowning in air.

[@timn4481]

cmon man..that form allows him to run a low 44 400 as a 16 year old.. some people just run differently. there's nothing to fix but conditioning in his event. I remember people saying Michael Johnson's form was no good.. pfftt..armchair experts.

[@ledunkman]

He wasn’t interfered with, He was fully behind Salvadon can’t expect first place to dodge someone that’s behind them

[@terraflow__bryanburdo4547]

Quincy spaced out mentally and didn't cut soon enough.

[@tazaman2009]

It's Quincy's first race and yes the loss of concentration and bump did cause him to lose his momentum but it takes nothing away from the winner. And that's exactly the kind of competition Quincy needs to get faster. That was a phenomenal run by the young man. People aren't even physically able to be run like that need to stop being so critical and just enjoy the competitive athleticism.🤔

A good coach, weather in grade school, high school, or college can correct those issues. Congrats to all these amazing athletes.
