Most other competitions are individual achievements, but the Olympic Games is something that belongs to everybody. Scott Hamilton
The Olympic Games must not be an end in itself, they must be a means of creating a vast programme of physical education and sports competitions for all young people. Avery Brundage
I make appearance at local park and recreation agencies when the program starts, when they have the qualifying meets at the local levels. Then I try to go to the regional competitions, and of course I'm there in Hershey, Pa., in August for the North American final. Rafer Johnson
I wish I could compete again, but my good feeling is, these competitions are better as exhibitions. Oksana Baiul
I'm always trying to figure out ways to one up everyone, and that's what I love about competitions. I love challenging myself and pushing the envelope. Ryan Sheckler

So I had the opportunity to do what the kids in the Hershey program do, except that the Hershey program lets them do it on such a larger scale, with the regional and national competitions. Rafer Johnson
That's what really makes great skating competitions. When you have two top skaters in good form giving superb performances. Dick Button

Vancouver is an amazing city and luckily, growing up in the Seattle area, I was able to immerse myself into the culture at a young age, traveling back and forth across the border for skating competitions as a youngster. Apolo Ohno
