The Olympics is this big global event, but when neighbours come up and wish you well, it feels more personal.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The Olympics are a wonderful metaphor for world cooperation, the kind of international competition that's wholesome and healthy, an interplay between countries that represents the best in all of us.
Every year, I think of Worlds as the big meet, but now, it's the Olympics. I'm blessed to even have the opportunity to think about it and work for it.
The Olympics is a dream of mine.
Olympics is everyone's dream.
Olympics for me is love, peace, united.
What the event will be like, being part of the Olympics and being in London, is too much to think about. You've no control over those things, so in a way, it's wasted energy to think of them.
I've always said the Olympics are special to me.
Seriously, I love the Olympics so much it hurts.
The Olympics is an imperfect interregnum, the parade of nations a fantasy about a peace never won. It offers little relief from strife and no harbor from terror.
I always say, 'When the Olympics are happening, you shouldn't be in any other place in the planet - you should be here.'
