For sure, 2010 was the best year I’ve ever had. It couldn’t have gone any better for me.

Winning the World Cup races and the overall title just topped it off Picture Quote #1

You do not boo an Olympic Gold Medalist. I’m the best in the world. I came here for you. You don’t boo me Picture Quote #1

Breaking the world record in 92 was a very special personal moment, but I’d say my favorite moment as a decathlete was winning the Olympic gold medal Picture Quote #1

Obama might as well be president of Turkey or Brazil; it does not matter. It’s the system that is absolutely flawed, where 25 or 35 or 50 people make multi, multi-billions on building Olympic structures while people live in Barbados and have no roads or clean drinking water. There’s something pretty inequitable there Picture Quote #1

Here were these college kids beating the Soviets and going on to the Olympic Gold Medal. To me, that’s the greatest upset of all time in any sport that I can think of Picture Quote #1
