People around the world were left speechless watching Team USA's Quincy Hall come from behind to win the men's 400-meter run at the 2024 Paris Olympics. But there was clearly nobody silent at the Hall household when the first time Olympian secured gold in spectacular fashion.
Kansas City sports anchor Harold Kuntz posted a video to the X platform of the massive celebration that took place at Hall's home as his family members witnessed him overcoming multiple opponents to finish first and secure his spot atop the podium at the Summer Games.

Hall, 26, was in fourth place before he passed Grenada's Kirani James, Trinidad's Jereem Richards and Great Britain's Matthew Hudson-Smith in the final stretch of the race. He leaned in at the finish line to secure the gold medal and fell onto the track to make fake snow angels a few feet away.
NEVER doubt Quincy Hall.
