You hit one level of the sport, and then you want to get to the next level. Until, eventually, the Olympics becomes part of that dream, part of that goal set and the mindset of wanting to get there. And then you realize there's so much incredible hard work and determination and effort that you need to put in along the way.

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.

Olympics is everyone's dream.

Like every other athlete, I always dreamt of playing at the Olympics, and it feels really good to see that dream materialize.

The Olympics is a dream of mine.

The Olympics is about letting people believe in their own dreams.

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.

The Olympic Movement gives the world an ideal which reckons with the reality of life, and includes a possibility to guide this reality toward the great Olympic Idea.

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

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