I will never forget the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
Tennis is not really a traditional Olympic sport.
Curling is not a sport. I called my grandmother and told her she could win a gold medal because they have dusting in the Olympics now.
And I suggested to change very simple way to Olympic Games, in one competition, two different levels. Separate from, until sixteen, and after sixteen years old.
I did pretty well at the Sydney Olympics, but those were my first Games.
A dozen swimming events have already been completed in the Olympic competition. I wonder where they got the name 'Speedo.' It doesn't sound like a bathing suit, it sounds like a breakfast cereal for meth addicts.
When you are at the Olympic Games, it comes down to a ten thousandth of a hair between making the next round or winning a race or getting second or third.
I'm excited to watch slope style and halfpipe. And then, of course, when my events are done, I get to go to hockey, which is always entertaining. I also like figure skating. I think every girl grew up watching figure skating.
The Olympic Games of the Modern Era began in 1896 in the city of Athens.
Women's marathoning was not added as an Olympic medal event until 1984 due to unfounded and bizarre concerns among Olympic organizers about women's ability to run longer distances. It was finally added after much campaigning.
I love wushu a lot and I would love to see it included in future Olympic Games.
I did get to go to the Olympic trials in '88 and '92. I was 7th and 11th, so I didn't place high enough to go to the games, but, still, it was a blast.
I'm actually the daytime host of the Olympics on NBC.
I think I'd struggle to get excited by synchronised swimming.
When I tell people I'm going to the Olympics, they're like: 'What do you do, track and field? Pole vault? Are you a volleyball player?' No one ever guesses tae kwon do.
It was so much fun being in the Olympic Village and meeting all the athletes.
Gymnastics is my favorite Olympic sport, hands-down.
Obviously in 2008 it was 538 (to win an Olympic gold) and most of my scores have been over that this year.
One of the most common misconceptions about Olympic sports is that they only happen at the Olympics.
Unfortunately, there are not many people in the world who get to experience the Olympic Games.
The Olympic Games is the most important tournament for Russian guys.
Dad met Mom in 1983 during the lead-up to the 1984 games. She was an Olympic downhill skier. In those days, the winter and summer games were held in different cities but in the same year, so there was more intermingling of winter and summer athletes at social functions.
I'm trying to focus on the 100 and 200 breaststroke now. There's no point concentrating on the 50 when it's not in the Olympics. I'm not going to quit the 50 but it's not my priority any more. I'll do it but as part of my bid for gold at the other distances.
I'd like to be a three-time Olympian.
Sports like sailing, rowing, and bobsled have long vexed spectators and television producers.
