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.

[@davids5980]

Agree 100%. What a breath of fresh air.

The faith thing she should drop....nonsense.

[@alizpusztai3002]

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

[@adelinedraper6710]

I’m a hurdler and I completely agree! 🤍

[@biggregg5]

Ehh....almost certainly a figment of the imagination.

[@hikoseijuro9291]

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.

[@Hensley_Jb]

She really is like the track steph

[@michaelkrentzin]

Sydney's 2022 track performances were without a doubt the greatest of all time. It is nice to learn a little more about her personal life. What an awesome and beautiful person.

[@random-dc3xr]

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.

[@cavaleermountaineer3839]

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?

She is absolutely stunning in all aspects. Just stunning.

[@TheGreatOne3]

I remember first watching her since the 2016 Rio olympics. Saw so much potential and been a fan ever since. Still only 23 yrs old and already a GOAT. Love watching her.

See coach... candy is the snack of champions

[@bySterling]

That’s crazy a top athletes #1 life essentials is candy

[@jjballers81]

The amount of calories she burns during her training allows her to eat like that. Sugar is a fast acting carbohydrate and is helpful for her.

[@nb2078]

@@jjballers81 you can’t outrun a bad diet. She does well despite the candy not because of it. Don’t try and convince yourself it’s helpful

Her skin definitely looks just fine, along with everything else about her. And she's probably the most dominant athlete in the world.

[@Ironic_Jihad]

Used to just admire Sydney as a great athlete, after watching this I'm now admiring more of the whole person.

If this woman wasn't a track star, she would be a top model. Even a movie star, if she pursued it. If you ever want to know what a 10 is, look no further than Sydney. Drive, humility, faith, devotion, beauty, and anything else you believe makes up a 10.

[@goodlife2456]

She’s a true Believer, beautiful, humble, talented, kind, what more could you ask for in a role model She’s the total package. Keep her, her husband and family lifted up in prayer. If you know, than you know. If not, you better ask somebody.😄

bruh she's my favorite athlete

[@jmotiff]

She is the most dominant athlete in any sport. The amount of time she is besting the WR each time is astounding. She will go under 50 seconds if she keeps with hurdles, and will challenge for flat 400 WR if she decides to switch.

Not to put you or her accomplishments down, but have you seen Katie Ledecky's records?

[@cobra7282]

@@lucky-xd5ft Fair, but Ledecky isn't currently dominating. Also what we are seeing with Sydney is likely the beginning of the type of dominance Ledecky displayed but on the sprinting stage.
