I just want kids to have a chance to go and try an Olympic sport. Every kid has a bike - that's how I started, and one kid coming along and giving it a go could make that journey to the Olympics.

I'd like my children to learn that anything is possible if you put your mind to it, and that when you make a decision to do something like pursuing the Olympics, like I have, it needs to be a family affair.

It's my dream, my goal to be good at Olympics, anywhere they are in the world.

As a child I was very involved with sports and I knew at age 9 that I wanted to be an Olympic champion.

For any athlete growing up, the Olympics is the one thing you watch with your family, and it's the one thing you dream about. Seeing your country's flag go up as you get a gold medal is the best thing you can achieve.

If you're going to stay in the Olympics, you've got to be entertaining and get sponsorship.

To be an Olympic athlete is an honour, a privilege. They're so respected. This is my dream. I have to do this.

I have a lot of expectations and a lot of goals I want to fulfill, but the biggest dream is still to make the Olympic team for London.

The Olympics is about showing what you've done with your life, your dream as an athlete and sharing that with the world.

Getting to the Olympics was, has always been, my swimming dream since I was 8 or 9 years old. You know, right after I started swimming it was, 'I want to make an Olympic team. That's where I want to be.'
