Quincy Hall was in fifth place halfway through the men's 400m final on Wednesday before a late burst of speed pushed him into gold medal position at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
The official split times for the race showed how Hall orchestrated his comeback by running the final 100 meters in 11.59 seconds.
Hall is the first American man to win the 400-meter race since LaShawn Merritt claimed gold at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
