Life is about opportunities, creating them and embracing them, and for me, that was the Olympic dream. That's what defined me. That was my bliss.

I still can't believe I won the Olympics. That's what I feel right now - completely alive as a human being. It's a really beautiful moment.

My childhood dream was to win the Olympics, and I've done that. Everything else is icing on the cake.

The Olympics is a dream of mine.

I know there's life after the Olympics.

Fighting at the Olympics has been my lifelong dream, and I cannot believe I am there now.

It was a dream of mine to be an Olympic champion but not a lifelong goal.

It was a dream come true for me to be at the Olympics.

To win Olympic gold has been a dream for me for seven or eight years now, so it was amazing to actually achieve that.

And from that nineteen sixty four, this was my goal to go to Olympic Games. And I realized what does it mean, Olympic Games, like big celebration.
