Zitat des Tages über die Leichtathletik / Athletics:

I could produce spurts of speed and after taking up athletics I found myself running quite quickly over 400m. Michael East

I can remember the day I decided I would retire from competitive athletics as vividly as if it were yesterday.

Sebastian Coe

I grew up in athletics, where people keep score.

Phil McGraw

Athletics carries its own set of truths, and those truths are diminished when manipulated by people with agendas.

Chris Crutcher

I always said I wanted to be a great athlete, ever since I was an overweight little kid. I just love competing in any kind of athletics.

Herschel Walker

It's very hard to win anything in athletics.

Greg Rutherford

What is learned on the athletic field is not forgotten, nor are the lessons of character that are forged there ever lost. Consider the contributions in the field of public life, business, law, medicine, and the military of those who actively participated in athletics.

Robert Kennedy

The institutions of college athletics exist primarily as unreality fueled by deceit. The unreality is that universities should be in the business of providing large spectacles of mass entertainment. The fundamental absurdity of that notion requires the promulgation of the various deceits necessary to carry it out.

Charlie Pierce

There are a lot of things that can be learned from the darker corners of athletics. You have doctors who view bodybuilders as cavalier amateurs of science. And then you have the bodybuilders who view the doctors as too conservative to do anything interesting. So I've tried to become the middleman for putting some of those pieces together.

Tim Ferriss

Hurdling, sprinting, athletics in general, is always in the back of your mind.

Sally Pearson

Athletics is in my blood.

Haile Gebrselassie

The discipline required for athletics carried through to writing. You call it obsession. I call it discipline. By the way, I see nothing wrong with that.

Jeffrey Archer

I could produce spurts of speed and after taking up athletics I found myself running quite quickly over 400m.

Michael East

Athletics is a luxury.

Roger Bannister

We do not use managers, we are the representatives of our athletes, and that is why I am deeply involved in athletics, I follow our athletes careers from start to finish, 100% all the way.

Alberto Juantorena

Encourage kids to enjoy running and play in athletics. Don't force them to run too much competition.

Arthur Lydiard

I learned easily and had time to follow my inclination for sports (light athletics and skiing) and chemistry, which I taught myself by reading all textbooks I could get.

Robert Huber

Football, that's just athletics. But in the business world - doing everything - people are competing. So you need good work ethics, and I think it helped me to develop good work ethics, being in a small town.

Herschel Walker

Nothing good comes in life or athletics unless a lot of hard work has preceded the effort. Only temporary success is achieved by taking short cuts.

Roger Staubach

I didn't get an athletics scholarship at a major school.

Edwin Moses

I find that the three major administrative problems on a campus are sex for the students, athletics for the alumni and parking for the faculty.

Clark Kerr

Coming from a farming background, I saw nothing out of the ordinary in running barefoot, although it seemed to startle the rest of the athletics world. I have always enjoyed going barefoot and when I was growing up I seldom wore shoes, even when I went into town.

Zola Budd

Few would deny that blacks have become very dominant in athletics: football, basketball, track, now dominant in tennis and dominant in golf.

Jesse Jackson

These have always been my legs. I train harder than other guys, eat better, sleep better and wake up thinking about athletics. I think that's probably why I'm a bit of an exception.

Oscar Pistorius

This league is getting big. We have way more 300-pound guys than ever before. That's not to say all the people in athletics who have died are 300-pound guys. There are so many different reasons.

Steve Mariucci

We want to promote the great qualities of athletics - and maintain its integrity - all over the world.

Alberto Juantorena

I played rugby in the winter, cricket in the summer, and for a brief period was on the books at Cardiff City. Athletics was only sports day for me. In fact, I never really liked it. I was never too keen on a sport that didn't have a ball at your feet.

Lynn Davies

I think when you are the parents of a gifted athlete, the best thing in the world you can do is to encourage them, in my opinion. My dad didn't push me and I didn't push my children in athletics.

Bob Lilly

In athletics there's always been a willingness to cheat if it looks like you're not cheating. I think that's just a quirk of human nature.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

I knew I could sing when I was about 7 years old. But since athletics was very much the forefront of my life, and I was kind of doing that a lot, I don't think anybody was caring or looking for me to be singing anything. So, yeah, I just kept it hidden from everyone.

Liv Warfield

One of the great lessons I've learned in athletics is that you've got to discipline your life. No matter how good you may be, you've got to be willing to cut out of your life those things that keep you from going to the top.

Bob Richards

I was in the doldrums for a while after my athletics career ended in 1992. I spent six to eight hours a day training, for 18 years, and it took a long time to get over the regret that I wasn't competing in major championships any more. All I ever wanted to be was the best. But I find new projects and I keep things in perspective.

Daley Thompson

Every international meeting or championship I do, I can cope a lot better because I can say I did the 100 m. hurdles, opened up the athletics at an Olympic Games in front of a home crowd, 80,000 people.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson

For every dollar we have given to athletics, we have given about 27 to higher education or medical research.

Joe Jamail

I got involved in athletics during physical education lessons at school.

Alberto Juantorena

In terms of soccer, it wasn't really a thing that girls did. In England it more kind of Net Ball and Hockey and stuff like that in athletics. It's to each their own, really.

Parminder Nagra

I'm a huge sports fan. I love the psychology of athletes and the culture of athletics. I'm constantly drawn to those kinds of stories.

Peter Berg
