If you don't try to win you might as well hold the Olympics in somebody's back yard.

The battles that count aren't the ones for gold medals. The struggles within yourself -- the invisible, inevitable battles inside all of us -- that's where it's at.

The determination to win is the better part of winning.

It shouldn't be about winning. What's important is coming here, to a fantastic event that brings together great athletes from all over the world, and taking in the experience. That's what I hope to take from this.

If sports are supposed to be good for you, how come athletes are over the hill at 31?
