Giving glory to God at the Paralympics: Karé Adenegan

After winning two silver medals, wheelchair racer Karé Adenegan is one of several professing Christians publicly giving God the glory at the Paralympics.

Karé came second in the Women's T34 100m final, while GB’s Hannah Cockroft powered forward to take gold by 1.19 seconds. Karé began her post-race interview on Channel 4 by saying: ‘I have to give all glory to God. It’s been a tough season, and I’m happy to have got another silver.’

A few days later, she took a second silver in the T34 800m, being beaten again by Cockroft. On social media platform Instagram that same day she quoted Psalm 18:1: 'I love you Lord; you are my strength'. She added, 'All the glory and praise belongs to God alone. He is my hope, strength and joy through it all. So thankful for another Paralympic Games.'
