I have competed before empty stadiums a lot in my career.

Too many athletes don't have the ability to set a goal and then carefully go towards it.

The ability to mingle with so many countries and cultures is extremely valuable for men and women.

The Ancient Games are relatively obscure to most Olympians, but to understand just what the Games are about, it is really necessary to investigate the roots and the meaning that has transformed culture and society for so many years.

Realize that from the start, every activity that comprises the journey has value and the ability to teach you something.

Athens will again be the host of the Games in 2004, but there are rumors that they might be switched if the Greeks don't begin to construct the sites faster.

People need to know that by donating, coaching, and just lending support, anyone can become part of the wonderful global family.
