Former Olympic 400-metre hurdler Shevon

Stoddart was nothing short of inspiration as the athlete, no longer on the

track, wowed the judges of America’s Got Talent with her voice earlier this

week.

The now-married Stoddart, auditioning in

the 15th season of the US-based competition, performed an original song ‘Through

the Good & the Bad’, which is dedicated to her husband and fellow athlete

Jamie Neito.

Stoddart, sharing an update with her over

16,000 Instagram followers on Friday, said the outcome of her audition would be

revealed this Tuesday, June 30. Viewers of the popular NBC competition would

also be in for an unexpected surprise as she shared a clip of her Round 1

audition.

View this post on Instagram In honor of Olympic Day, My husband, 2-Time Olympian @jamienieto is a true Champion. He is one of the world’s best High Jumpers and is an amazing amazing guy. He shows us everyday the fight, determination and preservation needed to be a champion on and off the track.

The 37-year-old told judges Simon Cowell, Sofia Vergara, Howie Mandel and Eric Stonestreet that she retired from professional athletics in 2016, when Neito, her then-boyfriend met in a jumping accident that left him paralysed from the chest down.

The Jamaican, who represented the island in

Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008, said in between tears that her world was turned

upside down when Neito got injured and was no longer able to help himself.

“In 2016, I got a phone call that changed my

life. Jamie was coaching Olympic-hopeful athletes and [his] foot slipped on one

of his jumps. When I got to the hospital, he was laying there and he could no

longer move. They said he was paralysed, walking was not in that equation,†she

cried.

In the nearly seven-minute preview,

Stoddart explained that it was after deciding to retire and stand by her

husband that she became inspired to pursue music.

“During this time, I found a lot of comfort

in music; that’s when these songs started coming into my mind and started

writing these songs for Jaime,â€
