---SNIP--- In a post to Instagram on Thursday, the devout Christian wrote a message of "submission and obedience to God," and included an image showing her draped in an American flag after her victory.

"Let me start off by saying, what an honor it is to be able to represent not only my country but also the kingdom of God," McLaughlin wrote. "What I have in Christ is far greater than what I have or don't have in life. I pray my journey may be a clear depiction of submission and obedience to God."

Haven’t been able to see everything in full, but I thought this lady is likely a good one.

“Wonderful! Suck it, women’s soccer!”

Couldn’t have said it any better.

Sickening that so many suburban moms and dads encourage their daughters to look up to those awful females as heroes.

Very nice!

Reminiscent of:

Chariots of Fire is a 1981 British historical drama film. It is based on the true story of two British athletes in the 1924 Olympics: Eric Liddell: a devout Scottish Christian who runs for the glory of God, and Harold Abrahams, an English Jew who runs to overcome prejudice.

God Sydney McLaughlin understands this truth:

"If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.” - Jesus speaking in Mark 8:38
