Another Olympics been and gone. We’re left with the memories (yawn) and a few interesting quotations.
“I just knew there was no room for negativity. I wanted to stand up there and win a medal because I knew I could write a book about it if I did.” Kristina Koznick, Alpine skiing
You have to score her high for having a clear goal in sight, and you can’t knock her honesty.
“Fourth is not a fun place to be. It’s like being the first loser.” Erik Guay, Alpine skiing
Sorry, Erik, but no one cares what the first loser has to say.
“Two minutes before the start, my skate broke. I can assure you that’s not the ideal moment.”
If they gave a medal called Stating The Obvious, we would have our champion.
“I’m very happy for the bronze, but I would have preferred the gold.” Mathias Fredriksson,
Oh, I’m sorry, co-champions.
“If you lose a couple of teeth on the way to a gold medal, I think that’s a small price to pay.”
Amen, brother. It’s tough to beat an attitude that doesn’t mind leave teeth behind.
