That’s not going to go over well... she doesn’t even wear a hijab and she’s talking about religion ?????
Only one olympian is allowed to do that...

She’s not the Chosen Muslim, so the Mediascum does not want to hear about this. They won’t be asking why she didn’t get to carry the flag for the USA....

Isn’t it normally called Praying the Rosary? A “Hail Mary” is a last gasp effort to try and snatch victory from certain defeat. I doubt this young champion was in that position.

The rosary involves a particular sequence and quantity of the Hail Mary, Our Father, Glory Be, etc. The prayer is indeed known as “the Hail Mary” in English. Latin: Ave Maria.

Thank you. I’m not a Catholic but grew up in a mostly Catholic area. When visiting friends’ homes I got taken along to many a mass on Saturday evenings. I have a lot of respect for the traditions of the “Mother Church” and am always interested to learn more.

Catholics pray to the Saints who are indeed alive in Heaven. God hears our prayers coupled with the prayers of the Saints. Check the book of Revelation for one of many, many cases in the bible of intercessory prayer and Saints praying.

Not in Scripture to ever pray to Mary or any other departed believer.
Not in Scripture that any departed believer can hear your prayer to them.
Not in Scripture that any departed believer can answer or influence a prayer.
Still, if it helps her win and excel at bringing home medals, ok then!
