The USA men’s 400-meter record-breaking Olympic sprinter Quincy Hall shone brightly on the race tracks, from his golden teeth to a gold medal around his neck.
Quincy Hall had some golden blings on his teeth even before making his Olympic debut at the 2024 Paris Games, as he had them during the game trials.

Moreover, the athlete chose to have the grill on for the 400-meter semifinal and final as he crossed the finish line with gritted teeth. The shocking race marked Hall’s first Olympic gold win, adding to his golden aura on the international stage.
However, there isn’t a confirmed reason why Hall has been wearing golden teeth, so it’s most likely for style, as the athlete is a big fan of hip-hop culture.
The jewelry might be a form of self-expression for Hall, who makes a fashion statement through his outstanding performance and appearance.
Fans claim that Quincy Hall has got the ‘dwag’ in him following the 400m win!
Looking back at his track record, Hall competed at the 2017 Pan American U20 Athletics Championships and won the 400m hurdles in a new personal best time.
Moreover, he set a new championship record time of 49.02 seconds, proving his dedication to the sport and his hard work on the track.
Hall’s achievements didn’t stop there, as he attained success in 2019, winning the NCAA Outdoor Championship in addition to the NACAC U23 Championship in the same year.
