I learned to skate in our garage. We lived in the country in Florida, it was sort of farmish, and there was no cement anywhere else.

The other style, which is what I did, was called free style, which was tricks you could do on flat ground. Rodney Mullen

My daughter just graduated college and she's a dance major. She's done a couple of dance videos already and won Miss Massachusetts a couple of weeks ago.

There is a dessert dish in Austria called Kaiserschmarrn - it's kind of like a sweet raisin pancake with eggs and sugar. It's definitely not something I can eat often, but if I've done well at a race, sometimes that's my celebration treat! Lindsey Vonn
You always see people coming back to the sport, and I've always thought, 'Gosh, when you're done playing, wouldn't you just want to stay at home?' Lindsay Davenport
'm so fortunate to have done what I love to do for so long, but the day I retired was one of the best days of my life. Not because I was happy to get away from the sport, but because it was clear in my mind that I had done all I possibly could, and that it was time to go. Carl Lewis
A good athlete always mentally replays a competition over and over, even in victory, to see what might be done to improve the performance the next time. Frank Shorter
