Olympic Gold, Faith First

#HunterArmstrong, a gold medalist on the U.S. Olympic swim team, said he has “no other choice” but to make God “a priority” in his day-to-day life.

“I keep God as a priority,” the athlete told Baptist Press. “I can’t really live without Him. I can live without swimming or being an Olympian or any of that stuff.”

Armstrong, 23, made the comments about his faith shortly after winning a gold medal during the Olympic Games in Paris, France, last week for his 46.75-second performance in the third leg of the men’s 4×100 free relay, earning him the fastest time among his American teammates.
