Our Olympic investments are not just in the gold medal hockey game. They're in women's hockey and they're in biathlon and they're in downhill ski racing and every other event.

Mark Sherman

Given Anderson's finding and Dajka's admission, clearly Dajka has breached his conditional selection to the team and his Olympic Team Membership Agreement.

John Coates

We want to end this Olympic run with something around our neck.

John Shuster

There were definitely days when I was concerned. At the last Olympic trials, I was a half-second faster.

Chris Witty

The IOC will continue to worry until after the closing ceremony, just as we do at every Olympic Games.

Jean Claude Killy

I want to be the Olympic champion. . . . Then I'll have peace that no one can ever take away from me.

Becoming the official domestic beer sponsor of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games constitutes an important step for the Beijing Yanjing Brewery Co Ltd to make itself an international brand name in the beer brewing industry worldwide.

Wang Wei

We will now use the Olympic break as a part of my rehab program.

Kari Lehtonen

We believe the city and southeastern Wisconsin would derive tremendous benefits through participation in the Olympic Games.

Rick Schlesinger

Austria is a ski nation, and everybody wants to talk or to be with an Olympic champion. It's a great thing.

Fritz Strobl

I am so immensely proud to be representing my country at the Athens Olympic Games, that's more than enough for me.

Craig Stevens

English is one of the most talented and gifted athletes I have ever come across in 20-plus years. You don't come across athletes like her very often. She has definite Olympic potential.

Jeff Scott

I want to be a world and Olympic champion as an amateur.

Aamir Khan

It was a dream for me to participate in the Olympic Games -- now I am in the final and ready to win gold.

Nicolas Massu

The victories here will prepare the ground for my Olympic dream.

Tejaswini Sawant

[The concert] will be the pinnacle of our Olympic Day celebrations and demonstrate Beijing's determined endeavor as a bid city, and the Chinese people's passion in pursuit of Olympic ideals.

Jiang Xiaoyu

He has to belong now to the Olympic favorites, but we are glad to be in that position.

Jochen Behle

It is wonderful to see how the Olympic spirit is being spread beyond Beijing into other areas in China.

Hein Verbruggen

This means that the Olympic law holds true: the law that the guy who wins the Olympics is always someone unexpected.

Fritz Strobl

I came here kind of with a medal in the back of my mind, which is maybe a little high expectation for my first Olympic Games. But you've got to shoot big.

Andy Newell

We want to do our most difficult routines. Instead of taking a more conservative [team] approach..It?s a lot like an Olympic individual final.

Byron Knox

They gave out cash prizes to the pro swimmers. There were Olympic athletes and college ones. They were from all over. They were high-caliber athletes.

Elyce Kastigar

I hope the Beijing and London Olympic Games will become two of the most wonderful sports events with their own characteristics.

Zeng Qinghong

It should be my last Olympic Games. Although I failed to reach the gold, I have tried my best.

Zhao Hongbo

I was working out and I was already done for two weeks. It was a great experience playing with all those guys and then at the Olympic trials, playing on the ice with those guys, they're the best in the country.

Zach Parise

It would be nice to follow in Fiona's footsteps because it is everybody's dream to come home with Olympic gold and she has been behind us all the way.

Ewan Macdonald

I love both events. They are both very emotional. I hope I can attend the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

Evgenia Radanova

I'm very happy. I achieved a new personal best and I did it in the Olympic Games. This is very important to me. Everything was clean.

Evgeni Plushenko

But this is the final preparation before the Olympic Games. After the third minute, I couldn't breathe. I was gulping for air, like a fish out of water.

Evgeni Plushenko

Not a lot of skaters do that. He's the Olympic gold medalist. So he was right.

Erben Wennemars

He's an Olympic champion, so he's right.

Erben Wennemars

I saw after six laps I was seventh. At this time nobody would have thought I could get the bronze medal. But these are the Olympic Games and we are in Italy so I did my best over the final laps.

Enrico Fabris

This is the Olympic Games and this is Italy. I took all my strength in my body and I did it.

Enrico Fabris

I think that it was fair that Michelle had all the opportunities to be named to the Olympic team.

Emily Hughes

I hope that people see me and see a different skater. But it's not bad being compared to the Olympic gold medalist, and it's nice having her in the family.

Emily Hughes

We've thrown down the gauntlet to the Olympic teams and our curlers are really looking forward to it.
