The advice I will give my children, if and when they have Olympic aspirations, will be to go for it.

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.

Kids can have great passion and great ability but if you have the facilities for your particular sport that can give you the inspiration to become a sportsman.

I really wanted to come into the Olympics.

I'd love to compete in the Summer Olympics.

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.'

You want to do Olympics just like you do a pro football game or a basketball game? Be my guest. Watch it all fade away.

I started Little Athletics when I was five years old, but my Olympics dream started when I was 10 years old.

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

I wanted to put a really good kids' racing bike out there for kids under 14: 10-year-olds, eight-year-olds, right down to balance bikes for kids.
