Coming around the last turn of the men's 400-meter final at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, Quincy Hall of the United States wasn't in position to medal.
Trailing Matthew Hudson-Smith (Great Britain), Muzala Samukonga (Zambia) and Jareem Richards (Trinidad and Tobago), Hall needed a miraculous kick in the final stretch to claim a spot on the podium—much less win the gold medal. He somehow found it, passing all three runners in the final few strides and finishing the one-lap race in 43.40 seconds to claim his first career gold.
