Melanie Roach is a Mormon Olympian
Other Latter-day Saint Olympians on the U.S. team include Lacey Nymeyer, 100-meter freestyle and 4 x 100-meter freestyle relay; Lindsey Anderson, steeplechase; Ryan Millar and Rich Lambourne, volleyball; Jake Gibb, beach volleyball; and Tairia Flowers, softball.
Niklas Arrhenius, who will represent the Swedish national team in the discus, is one of several Mormon athletes from around the world.
Steeplechase competitor Anderson says the Church’s health code — which advises against the use of alcohol, tobacco and other harmful substances — helps her to stay away from drugs and to run her best.
