Olympic Quotes

Getting the Games for London has been the fulfilment of a dream. It is one which I truly believe can change the lives of hundreds of thousands of young people for the better. But in the end, nothing can quite compare with winning your first Olympic gold medal Picture Quote #1

I ran the effort to bring the 2012 Olympic Games to New York City. We lost - on a global scale. To my surprise, life went on, and I learnt that nobody cares about your failures as much as you do Picture Quote #1

For most Olympic athletes, their training is their hardest challenge and where they push themselves to the limit. For Paralympians, training and competition is an escape from the hardships and struggles of their everyday life. That is the difference Picture Quote #1

If you’re a cannibal, an Olympic sprinter would be considered fast food Picture Quote #1

Nothing I have done professionally will top the feeling I got when singing with John Farnham at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney Picture Quote #1

Competing in show jumping is a school of life. And it’s one of the few Olympic sports where men and women are equal Picture Quote #1

Figure skating is an unlikely Olympic event but its good television. It’s sort of a combination of gymnastics and ballet. A little sexy too which doesn’t hurt Picture Quote #1

Yes, I am the Olympic champion, but this is not the end of it. I want all the gold that there is out there, everything that exists in figure skating. In all events, in all competitions Picture Quote #1

When I was a kid, I played basketball religiously. I begged my mom to get me voice lessons because I wanted to learn to sing the right way, but at the same time, I was playing Junior Olympic basketball, and I was playing point guard for my school. But I was wanting to get into entertainment, into music and film and television Picture Quote #1

The Olympic Games are highly commercialised. They purport to follow the traditions of an ancient athletics competition, but today it is the commercial aspect that is most apparent. I have seen how, through sport, cities and corporations compete against each other for financial gain Picture Quote #1

For too long the world has failed to recognise that the Olympic Games and the Olympic Movement are about fine athletics and fine art Picture Quote #1

If judging people on first impressions were an Olympic sport, they’d suspect me of using steroids Picture Quote #1

The Olympic stadium may have been built only in the early 1970s but it was clear for a long time it had no future. For many reasons it is not good enough for modern football and today’s fans Picture Quote #1

Throughout its history, the international Olympic Committee has struggled to spread its ideal of fraternity, friendship, peace and universal understanding Picture Quote #1

One must put things in perspective - I’ve been given a circumstance with very little time to catch form and try and get an Olympic quota for the country Picture Quote #1

Maybe there’s a little girl who thinks she can be an Olympic athlete, and she sees all the things I struggled through to get here. Yeah, I didn’t walk away with a medal or run away with a medal, but I think there’s lessons to be learned when you win and lessons to be learned when you lose Picture Quote #1

The Olympic dream was born in 2010 during the qualifications to Vancouver. And when I was watching those Olympics from the sidelines, I felt that I wanted to have my Games. I understood that it wouldn’t be easy to make them, especially now that in Russia there are a lot of strong girls Picture Quote #1

My dream was always to win in the Olympic Games, but I never set that next goal, and I have realised now I need to set another goal Picture Quote #1

My training has been going really well these past few days and my goal is to keep it up for the next few weeks and hopefully earn a spot on the U.S. Olympic team Picture Quote #1

Bill Russell is one of the great names in basketball, an all-American... and the only athlete to ever win an NCAA Championship, an Olympic Gold Medal, and a professional championship all in the same year-1956...But Bill Russell had this one problem: He threw up before every game Picture Quote #1

I won the Olympic gold medal in Rome, Italy. Olympic champion. The Russian standing right here, and the Pole right here Picture Quote #1

An Olympic gold medal is something that almost seems like a fantasy. Yes, of course I want it, since I was a little kid, before I even knew what the World Cup tour was Picture Quote #1

It’s a level of strength and character that few of us can imagine; a grace under pressure that few of us will ever attain. It’s why an Olympic gold medal would not have made us love or admire her more Picture Quote #1

Olympic gold is obviously right up there with a grand slam. It’s a big win. You can say it’s more, you can say it’s less, you can say it’s equal. It’s very much up there Picture Quote #1

The Marianne Vos Route goes through the seven villages of Aalburg, where I grew up, and celebrates my World and Olympic titles with a number of benches along the route, where you can stop and rest your legs. You’ll see the white windmill in Meeuwen and, in Babylonienbroek, a statue of the silver bike I rode to celebrate my Olympic track win Picture Quote #1

On television, I have watched countless athletes from different countries, sports and Olympics stand proudly at the top of the podium and shed tears. They symbolized the Olympics for me because Olympic medals represent all of the hard work and sacrifices made by the athletes as well as the people who helped them reach the top of their sports Picture Quote #1

At the most elite level, your nutrition becomes a lifestyle: it’s not something you have to do when you’re preparing for Olympic games or World Cup games - you just do it. You’re more inclined to eat healthier because it’s better for your muscles Picture Quote #1
