3 December 2020 Steve Fossett I pick projects according to how fascinating they are to me, and it has resulted in a broad reach. My records are actually in five different sports: balloons, airplanes, airships, gliders, and sailboats.
3 December 2020 Greg Louganis In sports, people reach their peak very early. You have to move on. I don’t know if I will ever surpass what I did at the Olympics, but I’m still doing the work I always wanted to do.
3 December 2020 Martina McBride In any small town, sports are really important to the high school, and I wasn’t very good at sports.
3 December 2020 Jackie Joyner-Kersee Growing up in the time of Title IX – it was passed when I was 10 – I got a front-row seat to so many great moments in women’s sports. Of course I didn’t know it at the time.
3 December 2020 Shawn Levy I just think that sports movies have such a built-in visceral, rooting interest, an epic win or lose redemptive quality. When they get it right, it can make for a really rousing movie experience.
3 December 2020 Richard M. Nixon I don’t know anything that builds the will to win better than competitive sports.
3 December 2020 Tiger Woods Hockey is a sport for white men. Basketball is a sport for black men. Golf is a sport for white men dressed like black pimps.
3 December 2020 Michael Phelps You can’t put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get.
3 December 2020 Ryan Sheckler I am so grateful to everybody that supports the Sheckler Foundation, and gives us the ability to continue to help kids and injured action sports athletes.
3 December 2020 Venus Williams Unfortunately the world is what it is now. People don’t get along for whatever reason. As professional athletes, in a way we’re almost ambassadors for peace, because sports brings everyone together.
3 December 2020 Chris Klein Actually, I always dreamed about getting a gold medal in the 100-meter freestyle in Olympic swimming. I always thought that would be the epic award in sports to get.

3 December 2020 Sergei Bubka I decided to create a sports club during the Soviet times. It was my dream.
3 December 2020 Robert Wilson Lynd It is almost impossible to remember how tragic a place the world is when one is playing golf.

3 December 2020 Im Dong-Hyun I used to play football at school, and I enjoyed really physical sports, but I now try to avoid any sports that might build up different muscles. That might have a negative impact on my archery.
3 December 2020 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Sports and entertainment are the only places where inner-city kids see themselves being able to succeed. Their intellectual development is something they don’t relate to.
3 December 2020 Jim Bishop Golf is played by twenty million mature American men whose wives think they are out having fun.
3 December 2020 Steven Chu I also developed an interest in sports, and played in informal games at a nearby school yard where the neighborhood children met to play touch football, baseball, basketball and occasionally, ice hockey.
3 December 2020 Jeremy London I love extreme sports, I like snowboarding and motorcross and rollerblading and hockey.

3 December 2020 Kohei Uchimura I’ve realized the extraordinary power of sports to heal, unite and inspire. I believe the Olympics will serve as the ultimate platform to provide positive changes and I hope to inspire all of Japan through my strong showing there.
