"God's blessing"
At the winner’s interview: German sings gospel song
The German shot putter Yemisi Ogunleye sensationally won gold at the Olympic Games on Friday. Afterwards, the devout Christian sang a gospel serenade in an ORF interview ...
Ogunleye secured the gold medal with a 20-meter throw in her final attempt. Silver went to Maddison-Lee Wesche from New Zealand with 19.86 meters, while Song Jiayun from China took bronze with 19.32 meters.
"God has given me peace"
When asked in the ORF interview what her thoughts were before the last attempt, Ogunleye said: "I prayed, that's my source of strength and peace. I said to myself, God, now is the moment - I already have silver for sure, but I don't want to rest on that. God has given me a peace that is not of this world."
Afterwards, the likeable German surprised the ORF reporter and the TV audience with a song. "Ain't nobody do me like Jesus", sang Ogunleye, who is active in a gospel choir in Karlsruhe in her spare time. The German ended her interview with a "God's blessing and best wishes to Austria".
