(American swimmer, 1972 Summer Olympics, on winning seven gold medals Inspirational) I swam my brains out.

Mark Spitz

Winning gold and three silver medals at the Paralympic games is something I'll never forget, but I knew deep down there was still more work to do. I had to continue to redefine what was possible and get back everything that was taken away from me.

I'm extremely content with my silver and bronze medals. But once I won the gold, I fell in love.

I've achieved my dream of getting a Paralympic gold medal and I'm very lucky that I've been to three Games where I've come away with five gold medals.

Back in 1960, the paper dollar and the silver dollar both were the same value. They circulated next to each other. Today? The paper dollar has lost 95% of its value, while the silver dollar is worth $34, and produced a 2-3 times rise in real value. Since we left the gold standard in 1971, both gold and silver have become superior inflation hedges.

People say that it was degrading for an Olympic champion to run against a horse, but what was I supposed to do? I had four gold medals, but you can't eat four gold medals. There was no television, no big advertising, no endorsements then. Not for a black man, anyway.

Jesse Owens

Getting three gold medals is something I'll really cherish.

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce

Three events. Three gold medals. I was news, big news, in the sports world.

I have tons of pictures of myself as a kid with my medals, and they were never gold medals.

Two gold medals and two silver, I don't think is that bad... I think I still did a pretty good job.

Practically and commercially speaking, a dollar is not necessarily a specific thing, made of silver, or gold, or any other single metal, or substance. It is only such a quantum of market value as exists in a given piece of silver or gold.
