When I competed, it was for honor and country. It was a privilege to be a part of the U.S. team.

It is always possible to improve.

I have competed before empty stadiums a lot in my career.

Too many athletes don't have the ability to set a goal and then carefully go towards it.

One of the key elements is the ability to be honest with yourself.

Once you have selected a sport or a creative activity, the rules are pretty much the same.

I'm glad that athletes can now survive, but am worried that the fast money will not last and the need for a career - long term - is critical.

The Ancient Games are relatively obscure to most Olympians, but to understand just what the Games are about, it is really necessary to investigate the roots and the meaning that has transformed culture and society for so many years.

The ability to mingle with so many countries and cultures is extremely valuable for men and women.

A key factor is to do training that is fun.

Athens will again be the host of the Games in 2004, but there are rumors that they might be switched if the Greeks don't begin to construct the sites faster.

I think I would use a lie detector test instead of the expensive testing protocols that don't seem to get the job done.
