The 25-year-old athlete excelled in the 400-meter hurdles, setting a new world record for the sixth time by finishing in 50.37 seconds, according to ESPN. \u201cLook at that smile,\u201d Tirico remarked at the start of their conversation.<\/p>\n<p>McLaughlin-Levrone appeared serene and content. When asked about her success, she revealed her mindset: \u201cJust running my race, you know, not looking at what\u2019s happening to the left and right.\u201d This reflects Jesus\u2019 teachings from His Sermon on the Mount: \u201cTherefore do not be anxious about tomorrow; for tomorrow will be anxious for itself.
