"You know why, I have a really dry sense of humor. I can work on that show [The Office]. I feel like I gave the camera one of those like during this interview. I was looking at you."

The 23-year-old won two gold medals at the Tokyo Olympics. She gained huge popularity afterwards and attended various interviews and talk shows.

At the start of the interview, McLaughlin spoke about what was on her mind when she competed in her first Olympic event.

"I mean, I show up as one person, but there's 10,000 behind me. So I know, they're all at home losing their minds and it's just awesome to be able to have this experience for all of us."

Later on, Sydney McLaughlin was asked how she felt when she won her first gold medal, and she said:

"I was like, 'What is happening!' It's one of those like, if it's real life, is this for me! I'm sure when I wake up tomorrow, I'll be like, 'Oh snap, that really happened today! But right now, I think the lack of sleep is like a dream."

McLaughlin was asked if the Tokyo Olympics were different in the women's category too, and she replied:

"I just felt everybody came ready. You know, it's one of those games where we can't control everything that happens. But we can control what we do and we just came and showed up."

McLaughlin was also asked about her celebrity crush, but she denied having one as she has a boyfriend (now husband, Andre Levrone).

"I don't have a celebrity crush because I have a boyfriend."

At the end of the interview, Sydney McLaughlin was asked which actress she would want to play her if ever her biopic was made:

"Zendaya"
