SAINT-DENIS, France — Last month, during a podcast appearance, Noah Lyles mulled which sprinters he’d include on his dream American 4x400-meter relay.
Conspicuously absent from the selections that Lyles made was the man who won the U.S. title in the 400 at Olympic Trials this past June.
It’s probably safe to assume Lyles wouldn’t omit Quincy Hall again if he could have a do-over. The rapidly improving Hall ascended to new heights on Wednesday night when he emerged from a blazing-fast men’s 400 final with his first Olympic gold medal.
