The Fastest Party on the Planet took place between March 13 and 16, 2025, in Boston, and guess who rocked it? Of course, Quincy Wilson. The man went beyond his very-won record of 45.76 from 2024, clocking in 0.05 seconds earlier this time in the 400m sprint. That was not his only; the athlete who raced for the Bullis High School made sure to raise the legacy of his school even higher when he anchored their 4x400m relay, clocking in a record time of 45.9 seconds, marking one of the fastest indoor relay splits ever. But at times it doesn’t matter how much you do, as there’s someone who’s always going to troll you. Fortunately for the 17-year-old, he got backed by a track and field legend. But who?
An account on Twitter posted a video from the Olympian’s relay and raised questions over his form, “Somebody fix his form please,” it read. Michael Johnson was quick to react to the tweet and defend the Paris Olympic gold medalist; he replied, “Two things about unorthodox form. 1) Should it be corrected? His low and outward arm swing will cause fatigue earlier than necessary, so yes.” Now don’t be surprised here, yes he did point out what was wrong with the form and what could the consequences be, but he also said that Wilson has time.
Johnson’s tweet further told us about when Wilson should change it, citing, “When to correct? Age, current results, and difficulty of the change all should factor. He’s young and already fast. Plenty of time!”
