American Sydney McLaughlin won the gold medal in the 400 metre hurdles race at the Paris Olympics, setting a new world record time of 50.37 seconds in the process.

The 25-year-old, who is a Christian, has now broken the world record in the race six times, and is regarded as a key figure in the next generation of track and field athletes.

She attends Grace Community Church in Los Angeles, and her husband Andre is studying at the Master’s Seminary affiliated with the church.
