I got a bronze medal and I can't complain about that, the only African-American to get a medal in the Winter Olympics.

Debi Thomas

Winning the 2012 bronze medal was magnificent, but I would love to win a gold medal in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Mary Kom

Athens is a great place for me. It is my second home. It's where I won my first world championship medal, it's where I set my world record.

Maurice Greene

I've never had an 'I've arrived' moment. I don't like that word, 'arrived.' If you say you've arrived, then you've achieved your dream. You've done all you can. 'I'm the guy now.' I don't like that.

Davante Adams

The incentive of a medal at the biggest sporting arena in the world is what drives me. Before I hang my gloves, I want to win the Olympic medal, and my performance at London will decide my future in the sport.

Mary Kom

Britain's last gold medal was a bronze in 1952 in Helsinki

Nigel Starmer-Smith

I'm not disappointed with bronze. It's always good to come away with a medal.

Bryan Volpenhein

I played in the 2015 World Cup. I scored in two games; we got to the semi-finals and eventually ended up getting the bronze medal. That was a big turning point in my career, personally, and for English women's football, too.

Lucy Bronze

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

Martin Brodeur

I am pleased I went from fourth back into a medal position, but bronze is not good enough for me.

Greg Rutherford

All what I aimed for, except the Olympic medal, I achieved. That's why I want to start the Usha School of Athletics. I missed an Olympic medal, now I want to ensure that one of my students wins one!

P. T. Usha

How could you look more stupid than to be the guy accepting a bronze medal in gold shoes?

Michael Johnson

I haven't lived in Sweden since I was a teenager. We lived in southern Sweden, about two hours north of Copenhagen, where my family's home base has been since 1970. Our parents bought a schoolhouse in preparation for self-sufficient living. They wanted to create a place to do all the things they believed in.

Neneh Cherry

There's no shame in a bronze medal. I used to think that, and I'm so ashamed of thinking that because there's so much joy and hard work and love in this.

You were in Sweden?" Boomer asked. "No," I said. "The trip got called off at the last minute. Because of political the unrest" "In Sweden?" Priya seemed skeptical. "Yeah-isn't it strange how the Times isn't covering it? Half the country's on strike because of that thing the crown prince said about Pippi Longstocking Which means no meatballs for Christmas, if you know what I mean." "That's so sad!" Boomer said.
