Medal Quotes

While starving refugees in Homs were providing target practice for government snipers, Bashar al-Assad’s strongest international backer was in Sochi, at the Iceberg Skating Palace, visibly moved, smiling with deep satisfaction, as the Russians beautifully glided and leaped their way to the gold medal in the team event Picture Quote #1

You know, I’m normally so sanguine.

Is it too much to ask people to think? Picture Quote #1

I didn’t want people to think of me as someone who wasn’t impressed with a silver medal, because obviously that’s a huge accomplishment, and I was so happy. It was more about me just being not impressed with falling at the Olympics in my last event Picture Quote #1

For sure, 2010 was the best year I’ve ever had. It couldn’t have gone any better for me.

Winning the World Cup races and the overall title just topped it off Picture Quote #1

I went at each race like there was a gold medal at stake. It wasn’t like I ran one hard, then slacked off the next. Every time was my best effort. I didn’t know how to go at it any other way Picture Quote #1

Breaking the world record in 92 was a very special personal moment, but I’d say my favorite moment as a decathlete was winning the Olympic gold medal Picture Quote #1

At the age of nine, I could cross the length of Glasgow on a succession of buses, wearing regulation garter-topped stockings and compulsory cap and - if I’d done well enough to earn the honour in last week’s test - with a First World War medal on a striped ribbon pinned to my brown blazer. I must have looked like a chocolate soldier Picture Quote #1
