How can you not love her? Super down to earth, fun, and humble.

[NotGregoryStevens]

I absolutely adore and admire this young lady. Class, beauty, faith, confidence, humility, and dedication to her craft. She's a breath of fresh air in a society that often promotes dark messages. I joke with my wife that I want our future daughter (shoot, and son) to be like her. Her light shines so brightly.

[willrahe]

She lives her life for the lord and it's amazing to see. Not just through her words, but her actions as well.

[alizpusztai]

As a runner myself, Sydney inspires me even more to run for the right reasons: to run for Him! ✝️

[AaMmack]

"I'm sorry if that offends you" was subtle yet excellently delivered💀

[hikoseijuro]

Classy yet down-to-earth. Beautiful but still humble and not afraid to be who she is. I hope she breaks the 400m record next.

[An-ebuk]

Bring on more track and field athletes! Mondo Duplantis, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce or Faith Kipyegon would be nice 💕

[camilleyoung]

i love how she is unashamed to be a child of God. really love her 🥹

[_Solly]

She's hands down the best female track runner🙌🙌🤞🤞

[ursulawanza]

“When we grow up, we have to put away childish things.”
Amen!🙏🏾

[dakidobf]

This was dope. A lot of times these are 100% sponsor items, but she shared a lot of things that are unique and special to her. Loved it

[random-dcxr]

Omgoodness I didn't know we could love her more!! The Bible, the ring tho, the Uno, the candy, the watches, and the fight-me attitude about the skincare routine lool (in that order). Love you Sydney!! Your time is indeed NOW.

[jimfreyler]

On the track she is so focused you would never guess this is the same woman. Here's a little factoid - Katey Ledecky (best women's swimmer of all time), Caitlyn Clark (best women's basketball player), Sydney (best women's runner) are all Catholic high school graduates and faith focused.

[Angelexpress]

So basically Stephen Curry can’t see rim and Sydney McLaughlin can’t see hurdle, well I guess so…

[cavaleermountaineer]

LOVE Sydney!!! How can you not love her candor, humor, graciousness, levity, style, ability to laugh at herself AND the ability to turn into the track and field Superhero when it's game time?

[combatbeatdown]

I remember warming up next to her at new balance nationals in 2017 indoor track. She was a superstar but never would have imagined a world record and Olympic gold. Good job Syd.

[jenniferzheng]

amazing how she's a legendary athlete and also so good at talking/PR/being an entertaining interviewee

[gregschulte]

Sydney represents the best in all of us. Formidable and genuine.

[cozyslor]

She is absolutely stunning in all aspects. Just stunning.

[stephenrowell]

The more I see Sydney and learn about her the more I admire her, wait, did she just say she sometimes has trouble seeing the hurdles . You would never have known !.
