One thing I learned from the '88 Olympics: It's not a question of if they can screw you over: it's a question of if they will. It's not the gold medal they took away from me. The medal doesn't mean anything. It's that they said I lost. That experience is well and alive in my mind.

Floyd Mayweather, Jr.

I'm going to always bleed the red, white, and blue. I represented the U.S. in the Olympics; I love my country. But the U.S. fans will love you on Monday; if you lose, they'll hate you on Tuesday. If you win, it will be back to loving you on Wednesday.

Charlotte Dujardin

For me, I wouldn't mind if I never did another Olympics; nothing can beat London. The setting, the support, the military people. From start to finish, it was such fun. I had the most amazing time.

British Athlete

Oksana Baiul

Olympic Gold changed me and my life dramatically. I became a celebrity overnight and people see me as a famous skater, not a real person.

Olympic athletes have to find a job right after they're done competing.

Olympic wrestling is like using an old Nokia phone; it's fairly basic.

The word 'olympic' is known worldwide, representing a global event that unites nations through sport.

Global Event

'Olympic' implies a standard of excellence and achievement in sports, often linked to gold medals.

Symbol of Excellence

Although primarily sports-related, 'olympic' can describe other competitive international events.

Not Just Sports

'Olympic' reflects grandeur or excellence, likened to the mythological significance of Mount Olympus.

Heightened Grandeur

Used metaphorically, 'olympic' can describe something awe-inspiring, not necessarily related to size.

Not Always Literal

'Olympic' references historical objects or events, like the sister ship of the Titanic, not just ancient Greece.

Historical Significance

Sometimes 'olympic' is part of a proper noun, precisely naming something without implying 'like the games'.

Unique Namesake

'Olympic' can identify specific locations, like the national park in Washington, not just Mount Olympus.

Geographic Identity

Places named 'Olympic' may have cultural or environmental importance, like being a UNESCO site.
