[On walking down the red carpet] Like diving into an Olympic pool, swimming the length underwater, then emerging gasping for breath. It`s so noisy that it`s quiet, you can`t hear; the flashlights are so blinding that it`s dark, you can`t see.
Heath Ledger
In the beginning I was selfish. It was all about, "How do I build Arnold? How can I win the most Mr. Universe and Mr. Olympic contests? How can I get into the movies and get into business?" I was thinking about myself . . . As I`ve grown up, got older, ma...

I won a gold medal representing the USA at the olympic games in 1960, but when I came home I still got treated like a nigger. There were restaurants I couldn`t get served in. Some people kept calling me `boy`.
Muhammad Ali
I guess I went a little nuts. But I knew I didn`t want to be at the (movie) premiere with 500 people 6 months down the line, embarrassed by my physical condition. So I developed a program that was Olympic in its intensity. Eight hours a day, six days a we...

When you`re expected to win and you have the press saying that you are going to win the Olympic gold medal, and you`re the only sure thing in the Olympics, it can undermine your confidence.
Scott Hamilton
Throughout its history, the international Olympic Committee has struggled to spread its ideal of fraternity, friendship, peace and universal understanding.
Allen Abney
This would have to be the toughest moment of my life, whether to swim an event at the Olympic Games or to look after one of your best mates.
Craig Stevens
This is very much a hands on role and Tom brings a wealth of logistical and Olympic Games experience to the team and we welcome him to the Australian team management.
Craig Phillips
This is the beginning of the season leading up to (the Olympics). This the first opportunity you are going to see the program, the music that these skaters hope to present at the Olympic Games.
Susan Ward
This is going to be a great and exciting event, not only for boxing fans, but for me personally, because I get to fight alongside two of my Olympic teammates, Andre Dirrell and Devin Vargas. I`m looking forward to putting on a spectacular performance in f...

They`re still considered Olympic eligibles, so there`s never an issue whether they`re going to turn pro or not. When they get to that level, money is never an issue. They make so much money now.
Dorothy Hamill
They have a television on in the lounge and I`ll duck in a few times between floods to check things out. It`s exciting to see Russ going for Olympic gold.

The two designs are completely different. The first is totally futuristic, the second is more classical. You can of course get very excited about doing something completely out of the ordinary, just like the Olympic stadium in its time. But each to his or...
Franz Beckenbauer
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.

The Olympic Movement gives the world an ideal which reckons with the reality of life, and includes a possibility to guide this reality toward the great Olympic Idea.

The Olympic Spirit is neither the property of one race nor of one age.
