“The sport has changed so much since 2004, it's incredible. If you look even at me, the way I'm fencing now compared to 2004, it's a completely different sport. They've changed so many things just with what [the referees] are calling, they've changed the timing of the [scoring] lights. You always have to be evolving as a fencer. The Olympics is interesting because it's such a small field compared to what we're used to. This world championships, I think we had a hundred and something [athletes]. The Olympics is going to be less than 32.” IfsThinkingWorldWayLooksDifferentLightUsedSportsInterestingFieldsThis WorldChangedCallingHundredIncrediblesAthleteEvolveTimingOlympicsChampionshipRefereeFencing Author:Mariel Zagunis
“To a sprinter, the hundred-yard dash is over in three seconds, not nine or ten. The first 'second' is when you come out of the blocks. The next is when you look up and take your first few strides to attain gain position. By that time the race is actually about half over. The final 'second' - the longest slice of time in the world for an athlete - is that last half of the race, when you really bear down and see what you're made of. It seems to take an eternity, yet is all over before you can think what's happening.” ThinkingWorldFirstsLooksMadeSeemsLastsThreeNextSportsRaceHalfPositionBearsTenHappeningsHundredGainsEternityDown AndFinalsAthleteNineBlockLook UpSecondsYardsStrideSprinters Book:I Have Changed Source: I Have Changed

“I have the disadvantage of not being sociable. Wall Street men are fond of company and sport. A man makes one hundred thousand dollars there and immediately buys a yacht, begins to race fast horses, and becomes a sport generally. My tastes lie in a different direction. When business hours are over I go home and spend the remainder of the day with my wife, my children, and books of my library. Every man has natural inclinations of his own. Mine are domestic. They are not calculated to make me particularly popular in Wall Street, and I cannot help that.” MenChildrenBookDifferentHelpingHomeLyingSportsHoursNaturalRaceCompanyWifeStreetsMinesWallTasteThousandHundredHorseDollarsLibraryMy WifeEvery ManMy ChildrenInclinationDisadvantagesDifferent DirectionsYachtSociable Author:Jay Gould
“Also our fellow competitors, who are indeed the people just mentioned - we do not compete with men who lived a hundred centuries ago, or those yet not born, or the dead, or those who dwell near the Pillars of Hercules, or those whom, in our opinion or that of others, we take to be far below us or far above us. So too we compete with those who follow the same ends as ourselves; we compete with our rivals in sport or in love, and generally with those who are after the same things; and it is therefore these whom we are bound to envy beyond all others.
