I tried to make the Olympics team in 1956

Bruce Dern

Russell joined the team in December, 1956, following the Olympics.

Bob Cousy

If I had tried the Olympics any younger, I wouldn't have been as prepared as I am right now. But there are definitely a ton of juniors out there, all around the world and in the USA, that if there was no age limit, they could definitely make the Olympic team.

Aly Raisman

I informed the team three years before the Olympics that I was retiring from indoor. It's not as if I left six months before the Olympics and left them with a gaping hole to fill. I retired in July of '89. The Olympics were July of '92.

Karch Kiraly

At the Olympics, there was a little bit of unfair judging, but I tried not to be disappointed and to do my best. I think the audience respected and loved what I did at the Olympics, and that helped me become the world champion in 1997.

Olena Vitrychenko

I'm not trying to get back on a team, but I have tried to stay in shape just in case a team needs a point guard. A championship team. I wouldn't go to any other team.

Tim Hardaway

I didn't make the Olympics, but I beat a lot of the guys that went to the Olympics, so I felt I was at that level even though I didn't make it.

Joseph Parker

My dad used to be a goalie. He actually won a bronze medal with Team Canada in 1956.

Martin Brodeur

I am the Olympic Ambassador. I always promote Olympics. I just want to say, Olympics is Olympics. [You] cannot mix with politics. Olympics for me is love, peace, [being] united.

Jackie Chan

London was my first Olympics, but I tried for three beforehand. I was measured for the Olympic uniform three times before London, and I finally made the team. It was a big deal, and it was quite emotional, which is probably one of the reasons I didn't perform at my best.

Eloise Wellings

You think about all the years that a USA volleyball team has been in the Olympics and have tried and have fallen short. Then to feel like you're pushing for something and you're trying to find that edge and then you finally do it, it's like, Whoa, it worked!'

Jordan Larson

I couldn't make ends meet. I tried Red Lobster. I tried Wal-Mart. I tried all these places and I couldn't make it. I couldn't. So, I tried this gentlemen's club, and, you know, I worked there, and it was just awful in those places. It was terrible.

Anna Nicole Smith

I think, bottom line, I have to be good enough to make the team. I have to bring something in and beat somebody else out, especially with a smaller roster for the Olympics.

Megan Rapinoe

When it comes to desiring, we are all experts. If there were an Olympics of desiring, we would all make the team.

William Braxton Irvine

I want to make sure I don't interfere with the success of that team next year. I don't see any way I could go to practice like most of 'em do, and not hurt the team. I'd go nuts if I tried doing that.

Bear Bryant

They want the Olympics. We ought to make sure they don't get the Olympics.
