It was a great privilege for me and my teammates to follow in the footsteps of sporting greats like Roger Federer and Tiger Woods.

The world is filled with great sporting events.

It's something special to break the world record at the Olympics.

To be the first British athlete to win a gold is amazing, but to win it in the U.K. is something else. Also, having my family here with me has made it extra special, and I know all my friends back home have been cheering me on and putting posters in their windows. I want to thank them all.

The most satisfying accomplishment for me was winning the British Open in 1996. But the most rewarding times were the times on the mini tours.

I don't think there's any honor bigger than going to your Hall of Fame for your sport.

The most important thing is winning, not breaking the world record.

Sporting achievements bestow a sense of unification on the cultures and societies in which they take place and create an outpouring of nationalism and pride.

The way I look at myself, the biggest achievement in my eyes - forget winning trophies or scoring in World Cups - is that I'm still at a top club playing at a really high standard having been almost two different players.
