All the guys called the Olympic Village a high-class Boy Scout camp.
Johnny Weissmuller
And from that nineteen sixty four, this was my goal to go to Olympic Games. And I realized what does it mean, Olympic Games, like big celebration.
Olga Korbut
And I suggested to change very simple way to Olympic Games, in one competition, two different levels. Separate from, until sixteen, and after sixteen years old.
Olga Korbut
And in nineteen seventy two I almost wasn't, on the team, but I knew about it just before Olympic Games for three months before this why this is was not very good for me. I'd been ready to go, you know.
Olga Korbut
And, in nineteen seventy two Olympic Games I wasn't really going to be a star, and overnight I became a star.
Olga Korbut
As a child I was very involved with sports and I knew at age 9 that I wanted to be an Olympic champion.
Marion Jones
As a teenager I had no idea that I had the potential to win an Olympic gold medal and my athletic career developed only by lucky circumstances.
Peter Snell
As an Olympic champion gymnast, I have always stayed involved in my sport.
Nadia Comaneci
As many as three million people are expected to attend the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, British Columbia. The security concerns and economic opportunities are great for both Canada and Washington state.
Rick Larsen
Every once in a while I run the Olympic downhill in Japan in my head. I think of how the energy is going to flow and then I make it all work for myself.

Andy Rooney
Football, basketball, and the Olympic sports all have their problems with banned substances.
Jim Sensenbrenner
For six years, I kept my five Olympic medals wrapped in a plastic bread bag beneath my bed.
Mary Lou Retton
For too long the world has failed to recognise that the Olympic Games and the Olympic Movement are about fine athletics and fine art.
Avery Brundage
Former Olympians also get paid to make appearances. Many of them won their medals in an era when Olympic success didn't go hand-in-hand with financial success.
Mary Lou Retton
Getting to know athletes from all over the planet is a big part of the Olympic experience.
Mary Lou Retton
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.
Jim McKay
Holding an Olympic Games means evoking history.
Pierre de Coubertin
I always thought, it would be neat to make the Olympic team.
Michael Phelps
I didn't train to make the Olympic team until 1968. I simply trained for the moment. I never even imagined I would be an Olympic athlete. It always seemed to evolve.
