With that run, Wilson became the youngest male U.S. track Olympian, eclipsing middle-distance runner Jim Ryun, who was 17 at the 1964 Olympics. Wilson later became the youngest male Olympic track and field gold medalist ever after the U.S. 4x400-meter relay team — made up of Chris Bailey, Vernon Norwood, Bryce Deadmon, and Rai Benjamin — won gold over Botswana on Saturday. “I was kind of in the moment because I’m watching a 16-year-old running the Olympics — Olympics history,” Norwood said. Quincy Wilson competes in the men's 400-meter final at the U.S. Track and Field Trials on June 24. The showing led USA Track & Field to include him in the pool of runners eligible to run on a U.S. relay in Paris.

☆ Erriyon Knighton: US sprinter cleared for Paris Olympics following failed drug test

CNN —United States sprinter Erriyon Knighton has been cleared to compete at the Olympic Games after an independent arbitrator determined his failed drug test was “more likely than not” caused by contaminated meat. Knighton, the 2023 World Championship 200m silver medalist, tested positive for a metabolite of trenbolone during an out-of-competition drug test on March 26 and was provisionally suspended on April 12, the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) said in a statement. CNN has reached out to Knighton via the US Olympic Team for comment on the decision. “We did what the rules require us to do in all positive cases,” USADA CEO Travis Tygart said in the statement. Knighton became the youngest American since Jim Ryun in 1964 to make a US Olympic team when he qualified for the Tokyo Olympics, according to AP, eventually finishing fourth in the 200m.
