I’m still swimming  (Ian Thorpe Quotes) I think it’s better to attempt something and fail than it is to not even attempt it, so I’m glad that I’ve been prepared to put myself on the line there.  (Ian Thorpe Quotes) I’ll go for broke. Swim faster. It’s not going to be easy - this whole thing was never going to be easy  (Ian Thorpe Quotes) For myself, losing is not coming second. It’s getting out of the water knowing you could have done better. For myself, I have won every race I’ve been in  (Ian Thorpe Quotes) The fairytale has turned into a nightmare  (Ian Thorpe Quotes) I’ve missed out on a huge goal but the desire is still there  (Ian Thorpe Quotes) Remember to do the things you enjoy away from swimming, regularly  (Ian Thorpe Quotes) This is why relays are so important, because you can find more in yourself for someone else, than what you can ever find for yourself  (Ian Thorpe Quotes) Im pleased to say that in telling them, and especially my parents, they told me that they love me and they support me. And for young people out there, know that thats usually what the answer is  (Ian Thorpe Quotes) Compared to how I have raced before and how I have competed, the success that I have had, this does look like doom compared to it  (Ian Thorpe Quotes) I’m disappointed that I really haven’t been able to race in a way that is reflective of the amount of work that I have done and how I have trained. But I don’t regret giving this a go  (Ian Thorpe Quotes) I’m more comfortable knowing that, chances are, I’m going to fail at this. I’ve become comfortable with that  (Ian Thorpe Quotes) Sometimes we question things that we have done in our lives but how many times do we question what we haven’t done in someone else’s  (Ian Thorpe Quotes) The only thing is I am a little bit ashamed of is I didn’t come out earlier, that I didn’t have the strength to do it, the courage to break that lie. But everyone goes on their own path to do this, and I don’t want the struggle to be so hard for other people  (Ian Thorpe Quotes) I swam the race like I trained to swim it. It is not mathematical. I just let my body do it. It is a lot easier if you let your body do what it is trained for  (Ian Thorpe Quotes) When I go out and race, I’m not trying to beat opponents, I’m trying to beat what I have done... to beat myself, basically. People find that hard to believe because we’ve had such a bias to always strive to win things. If you win something and you haven’t put everything into it, you haven’t actually achieved anything at all. When you’ve had to work hard for something and you’ve got the best you can out of yourself on that given day, that’s where you get satisfaction from  (Ian Thorpe Quotes) I think it’s better to attempt something and fail than it is to not even attempt it, so I’m glad that I’ve been prepared to put myself on the line there  (Ian Thorpe Quotes)
