I first heard of Sydney last week when she shattered the 400m hurdle world record, but now i am 100% a huge fan. I'm SO PROUD of this beautiful gazelle, and i just think she is an amazing role model for young girls and women athletes across the country! Sydney...you have fans rooting for you big time from Northern California and whether you bring home the Gold or not, you are a Champion in our eyes and we love you!!!!

This is community

[@BarrySmithviolin]

Yes it is!

[@jromebizzle]

She is everything America needs at the Olympics. Good luck.

[@johnkoziol1537]

If this is what the town did for her for making it as a semi-finalist in Rio, I can't help but wonder what it will do for her now that she's won the gold in Tokyo,

[@joew.6836]

Same.

[@Lishmaa]

Grandma still looking young!

[@mr.crighton9491]

[@cristiano1958]

Congratulations Sydney on what you have achieved! I have watched the race a few times... that was incredible. What I love about you also is that you say you owe everything to God. Please, don’t forget to mention that always. Love you😊

[@KCNwokoye]

How about now after sweeping Gold medals in Tokyo? Awesome young lady.

[@roosters161]

FROM GUAM, SIDNEY IS A VERY INSPIRING, HUMBLE OLYMPIAN AND A RECORD HOLDER WITH A GOLD. ENJOY UR LIFE AND BE SAFE.

[@hearmenow909]

She's a diamond.

[@theophilusyinyuidris1329]

I feel so proud when i see that, there are still some blacks that still honor and respect the flag and the united states anthem. May utmost prayer is that may she continue in this path and may also remain focus. That is to say she will not at a point caught in the trap of fame and tend to abandon the values and dignity that lies behind the flag and foundation of the United States of America. God bless you Sister.

[@rlittlejohn2772]

She is just a natural born queen. Coming with the gold next time

[@animvenus4014]

Sydney, I watch your very amazing performances on TV, I am also impressed by your calmness and level headedness. Excellent achievement! Stay Blessed! Well done 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@MEECHIO]

What a fantastic video which really encapsulates firstly what a lovely young lady Sydney is and secondly what fantastic support she received from her home town - they must be so proud of her!!:)

[@BarrySmithviolin]

From the island of Fiji down at the global South; Congratulation Sidney! Love you from Suva

[@paresman9658]

Indeed the grandmother said she should bring gold in 2020 and it happened; thanks Nana

[@apriljadegalgo1906]

So proud of you Sydney! Such a humble person.

[@NihilSineDeo09]

Willie & Mary, y'all did a GREAT job with your daughter, my hat off to you both!

[@rd2996]

Not from US, but Everything I've seen, and read about her has been so impressive! Aside from her physical talents, how can one not root for such a Talented, humble, hard working young women?...Gold medallist to the list! Kudos Mom & Dad

[@johnkoziol1537]

VERY well done, Mr. Depeine!!!

[@stephengalvacky5259]

I grew up in Dunellen, dad ran Dunellen Auto Repair for many yrs at 144 North Ave. Many great memories of playing ball at Columbia Park. Heard in media about Sydney -- what a class act, and if she stays the course (see Allyson Felix at age 35) we haven't heard the last from her!

[@michaell8722]

Checked Best High Schooler in the women’s 400m Made Olympic Team as a High Schooler Won Olympic Trails women’s 400m Set world record in the women’s 400m One left check on her list Olympic gold medalist

[@pologfan3505]

She got it

[@johnkoziol1537]

@@pologfan3505 Check! ;)

[@sanderslongdrive]

In the USA competition is so intense in track and field that one has to shed blood in order to secure an Olympic team spot. So to achieve such at age 16 is beyond words! Five years on if she can remain injury and illness free she is now ready for 'gold.' Sidney does not possess often displayed American arrogance, she is obviously a lovely person, hence a large part of world-wide track fans are rooting for her.

[@yamwaimeng5933]

She's an Olympic Champion already! Women's 400m hurdles and women's 4x400m relay!

[@GospelSoulMassChoir]

Very good. Congratulation Miss McLaughlin. Brighter days ahead for sure...

[@Anand_KL]

Watched her at the Olympics. The camera picked on her at the warm.up track, then she won her heat like it was a stroll in the park. She looked good. Then watched all her wins. Wow. What an.athlete. Then listened to her press conference. So poised for a young woman. Now watching this shows how grounded she is. I wish her well. Looking forward to her growth as an athlete. Greetings from Malaysia. Good video.

[@afrobuddy4801]

Damn what a community! Rare that a community actually gathers for someone that didn't win a medal and wasn't even a finalist!!! But i guess their support of her paid of.

[@Robsam28]

What a beautiful young lady inside out and very supportive family❤

[@ifereimicama5339]

Great honour of her achievement. Congratulation.

[@socman3988]

What a beautiful young talent !! She is the best all time 400mh just behind Delilah M WR! I believe she will definitely have a chance of breaking the record. She is only 20. She may even win the Olympics this year !!
