Let’s take a journey back a few weeks. On October 27, Quincy Wilson, the youngest Olympic champion, made headlines—not for his sporting prowess, but for something more personal and touching. This rising star took to Instagram to share some elegant snapshots from his school prom, where he was joined by his beautiful date, Solai Russell. The pictures showcased the couple’s graceful presence as they posed in front of a sleek Rolls Royce, capturing a picture-perfect moment of youthful glamour. **[PHOTO 1: Upload an image of Quincy and Solai in front of the Rolls Royce here]**
But this story has even more heartwarming layers. Fast forward to October 30, and Solai’s mother, Dr. Sharon Russell, was absolutely over the moon for the young couple. She shared a heartfelt video montage on Instagram, celebrating her daughter’s return from homecoming with Quincy. Her post was filled with affection as she captioned it, “A lady deserves nothing but the best. Incredible homecoming experience with 2 @solairussell @_quincy_wilson – beautiful, intelligent, talented, respectful, and caring young souls. It only speaks to the village that raised true champions and a job well done by the parents for planting the seeds!” This loving note reflected not just the admiration she has for their relationship but the core values that both families embody.
And now, it’s Solai’s turn to cheer on her beau. On November 18, Solai took to her Instagram stories, proudly sharing Quincy’s latest achievement. The original post, shared by Quincy, documented a truly powerful moment: Quincy coaching fellow track and field athletes at the Armory Track in New York City, known as America’s Premier Indoor Track & Field Facility. Quincy added the caption, “#coachquincy Thank you @armorynyc! It was an unforgettable experience, filled with memories that will last a lifetime.” **[PHOTO 2: Upload an image of Quincy coaching fellow athletes at the Armory Track here]**

The Armory Camp, held biannually, is a prestigious event that brings together an inspiring mix of professional athletes, coaches, and young track stars. It’s one of those unforgettable opportunities where young talents get to learn directly from the greats—Olympians, World Champions, and the coaching legends who molded them. At this event, Quincy Wilson took on the role of a sprinting coach, sharing his expertise with the next wave of track stars. There have been so many moments like this when Solai and her family have been right there, cheering Quincy on with all their hearts.

Captioned simply as “hoco 24,” the couple radiated pure confidence, with Quincy looking dapper in his sleek suit while Solai glowed in her vibrant green dress.

She was quick to share her pride in the comments: “Love my gorgeous daughter @solairussell,” she wrote, “To the handsome @_quincy_wilson, who is not only an incredible athlete and inspiration but a true gentleman—kind, considerate, and so respectful.” She even called them both a “work of art,” reflecting how precious this shared moment was for everyone involved.
Even Masai Russell, Solai’s sister and an Olympic champion, joined in on the celebration with her own heartwarming comment: “My jrs .” It’s clear that love and pride run deep within the Russell family. With Quincy now part of the picture, it seems their family’s speed—both literally and metaphorically—just got an impressive boost!
