Medaillen / Medals Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Medaillen / Medals:

We all know that we Africans just win medals in middle and long distance, and walking in their footsteps makes me feel proud, you know. Caster Semenya

From a personal point of view I want some medals because that is what you aim for when you start out playing.

Jamie Redknapp

My big objective this season is to win three gold medals at the Olympics, in the road race, the time trial and the points race.

Marianne Vos

Being gay has nothing to do with the three gold medals or the three MVPs or the four championships I've won. I'm still the same person. I'm Sheryl.

Sheryl Swoopes

Just because I have two world records, everyone assumes that means automatically it is two guaranteed gold medals, but it isn't like that, and anything can happen in a race.

Adam Peaty

Medals are decided by hundredths of a second, so I need assurance that my vision is perfect every time I compete, no matter what the conditions.

Lindsey Vonn

As someone who went to school in the '70s and '80s, I can't say that I noticed much of a 'medals for all' culture myself.

Naomi Alderman

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

Michael Johnson

2012 has been an extraordinary year for our country. We cheered our Queen to the rafters with the Jubilee, showed the world what we're made of by staging the most spectacular Olympic and Paralympic Games ever and - let's not forget - punched way above our weight in the medals table.

David Cameron

Opting for gold shoes could have been considered downright cocky, but I was confident and never doubted my ability to deliver gold medals to match my shimmering footwear.

Michael Johnson

Along with all those books about Lincoln, Obama might read some biographies of Napoleon. The general who established the Legion d'Honneur understood that people fought as much for medals as for morals.

Tina Brown

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.

It's insane to have won all those things - not possible. But what I love is learning, which never stops and is nothing to do with the medals you've won.

Charlotte Dujardin

The two things that are probably tied for first are winning a championship with the Mavericks and also being able to win a gold medal - two gold medals with Team USA.

Jason Kidd

I'd rather get a nice warmup suit. That's something I can use. Gold medals just sit there. When I get old, maybe I could sell them if I need the money.

Eric Heiden

I'm a crack shot and I've won medals for shooting. But I don't think I could shoot a person.

Gene Vincent

We have to be able to grow up. Our wrinkles are our medals of the passage of life. They are what we have been through and who we want to be.

Lauren Hutton

The lines on your face are your medals. You've earned them, so why shouldn't they be worn with honour?

Cherie Lunghi

I know it won't be eight medals again. If you want to compare me to that, that's your decision, not mine. I'm going out there to try to accomplish the things that I have in my mind and in my heart.

Former Olympians also get paid to make appearances. Many of them won their medals in an era when Olympic success didn't go hand-in-hand with financial success.

Mary Lou Retton

Olga Korbut

Many people talk about winning two straight gold medals, but I'm not focusing on defending the title.

Kim Yuna

I was blessed with a long career where I won gold medals for myself and my country. Nothing stands out as a disappointment.

Gail Devers

It's hard to think it's important to try out as cheerleader when you're starring on Broadway. But you do kind of miss the things that I now see my children doing. I'm just happy they are not actors. The Valentine's Day dance is really important. Pitching in Little League is very important. And the medals and the scouts are really important.

Bonnie Bedelia

Olympic medals are the one medal that I don't have; I've won just about every other competition that I've been at.

Three events. Three gold medals. I was news, big news, in the sports world.

Mo Farah

That's because the International Olympic Committee has a policy of never replacing medals.

Mary Lou Retton

You always dream of going to the Olympics and winning gold. I've learned over the years that there are lots of gold medals, but certain stories stick out and make a difference.

Kerri Strug

Ceausescu thought I had only a few medals, but I have a room full of them in Bucharest, between 150-200 in all. They needed suitcases to haul them out.

Children show scars like medals. Lovers use them as secrets to reveal. A scar is what happens when the word is made flesh.

Raymond Davis, Jr.

I don't know where my medals are.

Eric Cantona

Honestly, it's not the medals that I feel so proud of. It's the way I conducted myself as an athlete, the hard work that I put forward.

Kyle Shewfelt

I knew that life isn't always just about the Olympic gold medals and the sponsors.
