8 Olympians who talk about Jesus – and there’s nothing the media can do about it

3. Christine Ohuruogu

Christine Ohuruogu is a member of the Great Britain Olympic Athletics team. At 32, Christine has proven herself as one of the fastest runners in the UK, becoming the first British female to win three global titles. In 2012 at the games in London, Christine won the silver medal. This year in Rio, she is looking to win another medal in the 400m dash.

Here’s her philosophy on winning:

“It’s obvious I want to win, but I never pray to win. I just pray, ‘Help me do my best; don’t let me fear other people; don’t let me fear the job at hand. Help me do all the right things at the right time. And if I win, that’s great. If I don’t, help me be a gracious loser.’ Even if it doesn’t go too well, you still give thanks regardless.”
