Sprinter praises Jesus after amazing comeback

She was told she might never run again, after major knee injuries in 2008, but instead sprinter English Gardner qualified for the Olympics this weekend after becoming the fourth-fastest American in history. Gardner won the 100-metre sprint at the US Olympic track and field trials in Oregon on Sunday in record time. According to NBC, her time would have won an Olympic gold medal every year except 1988, when Florence Griffith-Joyner ran 10.62. When Gardner crossed the finish line she was overwhelmed and immediately started praising Jesus. 'Thank you Jesus. Thank you Jesus. Oh, God I praise You. I give you so much glory,' she said, slapping the ground while on her knees. The video of her record-setting race has more than one million views and 15,000 likes along with 800 comments. See:
