"I would say my faith is a huge part of it, just knowing that my identity is not in whether I win or lose the race. First and foremost, gives me so much peace to just go out there and use the gift that I’ve been given. But ultimately, I think in the moment, it’s just, everybody says I look so serious. I’m not waving at the camera; I’m locked in because I know what I am there to do," Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone said. (7:50 onwards)

Talking about her preparations, she added:

"I am really focused on executing and giving my all to everything that I’m here to do. I’m talking to myself, I'm repeating my race plan in my head. The night before, I’m visualizing a lot, praying a lot, and spending time, you know, in the word."
