Paris Olympics: 6-Time World Record Holder Gives Secret Of Her Success (Video)
Sydney McLaughlin, who once again broke her own world record, powering over the 400-meter hurdles in 50.37 seconds on Thursday night to defend her Olympic title, has credited her outstanding success to her relationship with God .
The 25-year-old American has now lowered the world record six times. She was in the lead around the corner and breezed down the home stretch to beat teammate Anna Cockrell by 1.50 seconds.
While speaking in an interview after her amazing performance, Sydney McLaughlin, attributed her relationship with God to her world breaking performances.
She said glorifying God on her platform regardless of what happens has always been her drive.
Sydney McLaughlin said, “I credit all that I do to God. He’s given me a gift. He’s given me a drive to just want to continue to improve upon myself, and I have a platform, and I want to use it to glorify Him.
“And so whenever I step on the track, it’s always the prayer of God, let me be the vessel in which you’re glorified, whatever the result is, how I conduct myself, how I carry myself, not just how I perform, and so it’s just freedom and knowing that regardless of what happens, He’s going to get the praise through me, and yeah, that’s why I do what I do.”
While emphasizing on how focus contributes to success, she said, “Obviously, there are people next to you and they’re going to push you but it doesn’t matter if you don’t focus on the barriers in front of you.
“That was my focus, trying to be as efficient as I could over my 10 hurdles and trying to lower that time every time.”
