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.

The Olympics must be my curse or something.

I was almost expecting the Olympics to be the biggest thing ever, but it wasn't. It was just another race.

I think the most surprising thing about the Olympics would be the amount of interaction and partying that goes on behind the scenes. They have nightclubs at the Olympic Village. It's like college all over again.

The Olympics: not one of my better memories.

The Olympics were great, because you had to make the team, and then go to the games. Now, I don't know, these guys today don't want to do anything like that.

It's never easy at the Olympic level. Russia, Romania and China always are contenders.

The Olympics are always a special competition, it is very difficult to predict what will happen.

Every country when they have Olympics, a lot of people come out opposed.

The Olympics meant everything to me. Going through them is like nothing else you will ever experience. For those few weeks, you are in another world. At that point, I couldn't see how there could ever be anything better.
