A Quote by Bob Beamon

I'm Chief Executive Officer at Art of the Olympians Museum in Fort Myers, Florida, which was founded by my Mexico City teammate Al Oerter and his wife Cathy in 2005. It shows that Olympians can have another life; we have got art from more than 100 Olympians.

I thought celebrity meant Hollywood, that's it. I began to see that does include Olympians. People have so much respect for Olympians.

Nadia Comaneci

Olympians are the product of the Movement, and to get them to the stadiums, pools and playing fields, it takes the actions of legions of people who might not be Olympians.

Bill Toomey

My participation in the Art of the Olympians is a natural extension of my athletic career. I find creating a piece of art in many respects mirrors my long jumping efforts illustrating that hard work and inspiration will always be the foundation for success.

This killing of Israel athletes is an act of war. And if there's one place that war doesn't belong, it's here. 1200 years. From 776 B.C. to 393 A.D., your fellow Olympians laid down their arms to take part in these games. They understood there was more honor in out running a man than in killing him. I hope the competition will resume, and if it does, you must not think that running or throwing or jumping is frivelous. The games were once your fellow Olympians answer to war – competition, not conquest. Now, they must be your answer.

Bill Bowerman

I beat Olympians.

Jermell Charlo

The Olympians were a reminder that there was always someone better than you, so you shouldn't get a big head.

Rick Riordan

Past Olympians have a continuing role within the Olympic family.

Bill Toomey

I want to be recognised as exemplifying the Olympic spirit - one of the last true Olympians.

Eddie the Eagle

Going back in time, the best sportsmen ever have been Olympians.

Sonny Bill Williams

There's a lot of great Olympians, but for me, I try to prove myself as one of the best - and that's the key thing.

Usain Bolt

I went to the Avengers: Age of Ultron and I'm like, "These guys are Olympians now." There's no place for a Walter Matthau in a movie anymore.

Jai Courtney

I was lucky because when I'd done 'Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief,' I had to have extensive weapons training.

Alexandra Daddario

I think it's really important to show people that there's nothing different about us; especially as athletes - we train as hard as the Olympians.

Ellie Simmonds

To me, professional wrestling is made up of that: Olympians, world-class power-lifters, fighters, boxers, and you name it.

Josh Barnett

There's something about an Olympic Games and representing Canada and being part of that greater team, so when we're 70, we'll be wanting to be Olympians still. That stays with you, I think.

Tessa Virtue
