They don't give you gold medals for beating somebody. They give you gold medals for beating everybody.

I had already been into my professional career for six years and had not won an individual gold medal at the Olympics. There was a tremendous amount of pressure going into 1996 to get it done.

The lust of gold succeeds the rage of conquest; The lust of gold, unfeeling and remorseless! The last corruption of degenerate man.

Gold could move up from...where we stand at the moment. I would be surprised to see a massive increase in prices, but a slow creep up towards just below $570 would be on the cards this week.

This is the first medal I've ever won in an international meet. For it to be gold is incredible. It feels great. I can't explain it.
