Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone credited her faith in God for leading her to the double Olympic gold medal victory in Paris.

The 25-year-old added that she repeated the words "Trust in Jesus" to overcome her race-related fears.

"It’s always hard preparing for one moment you may or may not get back. In my mind what kept repeating were the words “Trust in Jesus”. I didn’t know what the outcome would be, but I did know He was who I wanted to lead me through the journey. What an amazing journey it was!" Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone added.

The four-time Olympic champion is quite vocal about her faith and has claimed to not be afraid of losing her sponsorships because of it.
