I ran into a couple of guys who were boxers. They talked me into working out at their gym. I became obsessed with boxing and the idea of becoming a champion. I was hoping to compete in the 1992 Olympics...But I got a lead [acting]. Suddenly I was making m...

I do think the Olympics are a curiously male obsession. Who can run the fastest from here to here? You know what I think? Who gives? Because if you`re not running to catch a bus or running to buy me a bunch of flowers, I don`t care. Her thoughts on the Ol...

Definitely gymnastics, because I was a gymnast for 11 years. That`s my thing. My girlfriend Betty Okino was in the 1992 Olympics and won a bronze medal. She`s a gymnast. So I`m a huge fan. - On her favorite event in the Olympics.

You can learn a lot from the Olympics, but you have to learn the sport again when you turn pro. Just being an Olympian or a gold medalist isn?t going to get you a break when you take off that headgear and start prizefighting. You?ve got to prove yourself ...
Anna Shea
With these Olympics, I kind of miss it. Any kind of winter sport like that you wish you were good at, but I can`t complain where I am today.
Adam Stern
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
When I went to the Olympics, I had every intention of shaving the mustache off, but I realized I was getting so many comments about it - and everybody was talking about it - that I decided to keep it.
Mark Spitz
When I got my diagnosis, I treated it like the Olympics. I tried to stay positive and told my doctor I was going to be the best patient he`d ever had.
Peggy Fleming
Whatever the reason is, I hope we can finish talking about the Olympics. It`s gone, it`s behind us. The schedule wasn`t proper for players who went there and there is some fatigue in a lot guys` play right now.
Saku Koivu
What was most important to me at the Olympics was going out there and performing my best. When I messed up the first jump combination, which was my big move, it hit me that I messed up the program of my life.
Debi Thomas
Well my thoughts on American swimming are that our prospects look favorable, but we may not have as strong a showing in the gold medal count as in previous Olympics. But I am not coaching.
Mark Spitz
We definitely saw the parallels between girls working in a man`s world. And the idea of making the Olympics appeal to a younger generation.
Brett Anderson
We are three days into a comprehensive investigation. We`re certainly not in a position nor will we seek to preclude anyone`s participation in the Olympics at this point in time.
Bill Daly
Waving the flag at the 1976 Olympics wasn`t my idea. It was too much apple pie and ice cream. Not that I don`t love my country, but I felt it was my victory up there, I put all the time into it.
Bruce Jenner
Up 50 or up 10 or two, we play the same way. The minute you change the way you play, the minute you get worse as a player. You don`t get too many games in the Olympics. You have to take advantage of all of them.
Diana Taurasi
To me, it`s about getting better every time and doing the best I can every run no matter where I am. The Olympics are going to be huge, but I don`t think the Olympics are going to make or break any rider. At the end of the day, it`s just another contest w...

Through everything I`ve gone through- and I`ve been everywhere, at the top of the world, in jail, hung over drunk - I never gave up my dream of winning a gold medal in the Olympics.
Dan O`Brien
Those are encouraging signs, that`s for sure. We see light at the end of the tunnel, but with this virus, we still can`t be certain. We stay cautious, hoping she`ll be recovered before the Olympics start.
Annick Coupe
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 my third Olympics in a row. I`m coming in as a dark horse, but this time I didn`t think about the pressure or the press, I was just doing it for myself.
