Profiles in Countermoonbattery: Sydney McLaughlin
Moonbat losers like Megan Rapinoe and Gwen Berry get the media coverage, but Tamyra Mensah-Stock isn’t the only class act to compete on Team USA in the Olympics this year. Sydney McLaughlin set a record in the 400-meter hurdle while qualifying for the games in June. That record has been broken already — by her.
Does she take the opportunity to denounce her country? No. She is grateful for the opportunity to represent it. Does she brandish her gold medal and smugly proclaim, “I deserve this”? No again.
She credits her success to her faith:
“As long as I put the hard work in, He’s going to carry me through. And I really cannot do anything more but give the glory to Him at this point.”
Some buckle under the stress of competition, then are fawned over by the media for quitting. Not Sydney McLaughlin:
“[T]he amount of weight the Lord took off my shoulders, is the reason I could run so freely yesterday. My faith was being tested all week. From bad practices, to 3 false start delays, to a meet delay. I just kept hearing God say, ‘Just focus on me.’ It was the best race plan I could have ever assembled,” she explained.
“I no longer run for self recognition, but to reflect His perfect will that is already set in stone. I don’t deserve anything. But by grace, through faith, Jesus has given me everything. Records come and go. The glory of God is eternal.”
While narcissists lose, Sydney McLaughlin wins. In the end, people get what they really do deserve.
