Quincy Hall's brother barks like a dog while hilariously reacting to 400m gold at Paris Olympics
Quincy Hall's brother Milton couldn't believe his luck after seeing his sibling surge a late comeback to win the gold in the Olympics' 400-meter final in Paris.
In an interview held not long after the event on Wednesday evening, Milton showed how proud he was of Quincy along with friends and family who hoped that the US sprinter heard their barks all way from the Halls' home in the Kansas City, MO, area.
Repping a Royals baseball cap, Milton told Fox 4NewsKC: 'Oh man, this is awesome man! This is 18 years in the making dog, you don't understand. [Mom] Miss Iecia and Quincy Hall have been through all the making man.
'I keep saying ''Oh man''... God is good. [Quincy] did it for his best friend, Brandon. He did it for his man, Rasheed. He did it for his uncle Tony. He did it for everybody man.
'This is a blessing dog. Right? God... Quincy I love you dog!'

Hall won the race by 0.04 seconds, as Britain's Matthew Hudson-Smith came second in Paris
Hall reeled in three runners down the stretch of the 400-meter final to deliver what was another heart-stopping win for his country at the Stade de France.
He finished in 43.40 seconds, beating Britain's Matthew Hudson-Smith by .04 seconds; they are now the fourth- and fifth-fastest men in history at the distance.
'That was crazy man. There's a reason why I got all these coaches here man. 'Cause they all got a hand in this man,' Milton said of his brother's comeback win.
'The emotions seeing that... hey when [Quincy] dropped that neck, he said ''Get to work.'' He said ''Get home son'' for a reason. He said ''I'm that dog'' for a reason.
'We're barking in the background for a reason. That's that dog, come on now,' Milton continued before barking once more, as well as appearing emotional.
'2024 Olympic champion Quincy Hall. Kansas City, Missouri native. [...] I wish I got to go out there to see that. Put the cameras on somebody else.'
Hall's late push came the evening after American Cole Hocker rocked his sport by coming from way back to beat the favorites in a memorable men's 1500.
Add in Noah Lyles, whose only lead in his 100-meter thriller Sunday came at the exact point he crossed the finish line, and it's easy to see a pattern of US success in track at these Olympics.

'I've got determination,' Hall said. 'That's what got me to that line. A lot of hurt, a lot of pain.'
The win came about an hour after Lyles advanced to the final of the 200m despite finishing second to Letsile Tebogo in his semifinal. Lyles will race for the gold medal Thursday.
Things looked bad for Hall, a 26-year-old who starred at South Carolina and who breeds dogs, as the eight sprinters approached the final curve.
He was 5 or so meters behind Hudson-Smith and 2012 champion Kirani James, both to his left, and as they rounded the bend, Hall was making up ground on Jareem Richards to his outside. It looked to be shaping up as a good battle for bronze.
With his arms pumping low and wide and his head bobbing, Hall passed them all, then thrust his chest out to beat the Brit. Hall fell to the ground and scissored his arms and legs back and forth - snow angels in 80-degree weather on the bright purple track.
'I just wanted to keep doing what my coach told me to do, just keep driving and keep driving and get home,' Hall said.

Hall needed a moment to savor his victory by laying on the track after his 400m final conquest
Lost in that chaos was Samukonga, the Zambian, who also came from nowhere to take third.
Hall is the first American since LaShawn Merritt in 2008 to capture gold in the one-lap race that the country dominated for decades before that. He joins the likes of Michael Johnson, Jeremy Wariner and Lee Evans among the champions the United States has produced in the most tactical sprint on the track program.
'I knew these guys would get out try to see who they could throw off their race,' he said.
Turns out, not him.
The new champ's reaction when he crossed the line: 'I just won. It's over. Next four years, I can say I'm Olympic champion.'
