Rather than missing the medal, the overall message from across the Indian contingent was my effort proved that we can win an Olympic medal.

An Olympic medal won't define my whole life, although it might look like it to onlookers. When I look back, I should have been able to get an Olympic medal.

Paula Radcliffe

The Olympics is a special event and winning is very important. For me as a world record holder and world champion, the only thing I am missing is the Olympic gold medal and that is what I want to achieve in my career.

David Rudisha

I didn't know if I was gonna make the Olympic roster, but just to be part of that journey to get to the Olympics and inevitably win a medal - even if I wasn't a part of the roster, knowing that I had a part in it, I would have been so content.

Eddy Alvarez

I think an Olympic medal is the only thing missing from what I can physically achieve as a cyclist. I can't win the Tour de France, but I've pretty much won everything else that I can within my physical realm, so that's the only thing missing.

Mark Cavendish

Your goal is to win a medal at the Olympics. The players who go into their second Olympics like me, know the agony of missing out on a medal.

To win a gold medal at Olympic Games has long been my dream ever since I started my career as a table tennis player.

Ma Long

I wouldn't say that there's ever been an Olympic champion that didn't deserve to win an Olympic Gold Medal.

Dorothy Hamill

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!

A hundredth of a second here, a hundredth of a second there-even if you put them end to end, they still only add up to one, two, perhaps three seconds, snatched from eternity.

A hundredth of a second here, a hundredth of a second there - even if you put them end to end, they still only add up to one, two, perhaps three seconds, snatched from eternity.

Robert Doisneau

From the time I started boxing, my dream was to win an Olympic gold medal. At 10, I can't say I knew how big the Olympics are. I just knew that every kid in the gym wanted to win an Olympic gold medal. Every kid in every gym probably wants to win an Olympic gold medal.

Danny Garcia

I'm just sorry I couldn't come home with a second Olympic gold medal.

Katie Taylor

I always said I wanted an Olympic medal. It's the pinnacle of any athlete's career.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson

Some days the mere fact of seeing feels like perfect happiness... You feel so rich you long to share your jubilation with others. The memory of such moments is my most precious possession. Maybe because there've been so few of them. A hundredth of a second here, a hundredth of a second there-- even if you put them end to end they still only add up to one, two, perhaps three seconds snatched from eternity.

Robert Doisneau

If you make it into an Olympic team, you're good; if you make it into an Olympic final, you're great; and if you win an Olympic medal you're a freak.
