Quote

The Olympics are never just about sports.

I never wanted to be famous.

The experience of being an Olympian is one that can never be taken away from you.

Nobody cares about the bronze or silver medals.

I never watched any award show.

The publicity and hoopla was never important to me.

Winning an Olympic gold medal is like nothing else.

I never thought about being famous.

I wouldn't say that there's ever been an Olympic champion that didn't deserve to win an Olympic Gold Medal.

I never pursued a career relentlessly.
