"And Jesus said to him "anything is possible to him who believes" (Mark 9:23)", she wrote in the caption. "Never lose faith, never give up."
Helen Maroulis, the first U.S. female wrestler to take home an Olympic gold medal, won a bronze medal at the Tokyo Games on Thursday after defeating Mongolia's Khongorzul Boldsaikhan 11-0.
During the 2016 Rio Olympics, Maroulis won the 53-kilogram division, becoming the first woman to win a gold medal for the USA's women's wrestling team. She is also a devout Christian who attributes her success to God.
Following Thursday's victory, Maroulis, 29, posted a picture of herself on Instagram with the bronze medal as she quoted scripture and thanked her supporters.
