I thought Paulie could jump. I know he's not fleet of foot, but at least have some hops. I guess we know who is not going to win a gold glove. I was trying to become a spokesperson for the U.S. Postal Service. Billy Koch
I was playing little league baseball when Bruce Jenner was winning the gold but I don't think I was really paying attention at that time. Dan OBrien
I was playing little league baseball when Bruce Jenner was winning the gold, but I don't think I was really paying attention at that time. It wasn't until 1980 - I think I was 12 years old - that I thought, 'Wow that's what I want to do. I want to be on the Olympic team.' Dan OBrien
I wasn't really expecting me to win the gold in this race. To get another medal for myself and for the U.S. was a pretty good thing to happen, I'd say. Bonnie Blair
I'd rather get a nice warmup suit. That's something I can use. Gold medals just sit there. When I get old, maybe I could sell them if I need the money. Eric Heiden
I've always been fascinated by the Gold Coast. The homes themselves are spectacular, unlike anything you'll see other than in Newport, Bar Harbor or Palm Beach. It's a very special area that, because of local demographics, is not going to survive much longer. Nelson DeMille
I've been training super hard at the Lopez Taekwondo Academy in Houston, which belongs to my brother Jean. For me, I think confidence is the biggest thing; it's all mental. I train with the best of the best, including my brother Steven, a five-time world champion who won Olympic gold medals. Diana Lopez
I've designed since I was 12. The first was when I skated to Carmen, in red and gold and black. I wanted so many frills at that time. It had a lot going on for a little person like me. And I picked out fabrics that didn't stretch. Very uncomfortable.Sasha Cohen
I've learned that winning isn't everything, and it's more about the journey. But at the end of the day, I just want to stand on the podium with the gold medal. Hope Solo
If I bring back only one gold people are going to say it's a disappointment. But not too many of them own an Olympic gold medal so if I get one I'm going to be happy. Michael Phelps
In terms of my career, having the gold definitely changed my life. The Olympics are different, you know? They're every four years and it's such a small group. Kristi Yamaguchi
It really means a lot that I won the gold medal - but I woke up the next morning expecting to feel different. I felt the same. Dan OBrien
It took me time to realize that the men who won Olympic gold medals in the decathlon are just men, just like me. Dan OBrien
It took putting one foot in front of the other every single day to get through it to the point where I made it back on the team and won a gold medal in 2008. Hope Solo
My goal is one Olympic gold medal. Not many people in this world can say, 'I'm an Olympic gold medalist.' Michael Phelps
No matter what, like, I couldn't - I could break a world record, get an Olympic gold medal, and my mom would be, like, you could have done better. But you looked pretty. That's what she says all the time. Ryan Lochte
