What an absolutely magnificent scene! Riley Gaines, a former Kentucky Wildcats swimmer who lost out on a 2022 NCAA championship trophy given to male competitor Lia Thomas despite tying, had an incredible opportunity Sunday she took full advantage of.
Gaines, the host of OutKick’s “Gaines For Girls” podcast, got to deliver the pre-race invocation Sunday at the Circuit of the Americas prior to the EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix in Austin, Texas. And while doing so, she gave a shoutout to President Donald Trump!
Afterwards, she talked about how honored she was to do the pre-race prayer.
“It’s a surreal honor to deliver the pre-race invocation for Sunday’s race at Circuit of the Americas,” explained Gaines, OutKick reported. “I’m looking forward to an exciting day of racing and the way this sport brings people together with passion and love for our country.”
How can you not love Riley Gaines?
She excellently deliver the pre-race invocation, but throwing a shoutout to President Trump didn’t hurt either.
Speaking of Trump, can we once again acknowledge how he and Vice President JD Vance’s handled the exchange with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy?
Greatest administration in the history of the United States of America.
