This (gold medal) is ordsprog

en This (gold medal) is redemption. This proves to everybody, not only in this building, but everybody everywhere that said Shuster choked last year, he screwed up, he didn't really have what we thought he had. I just came back and the last two weeks proved that I do have it. And I think that things are only going to get better from here.

en It wasn't about the Stanley Cup the year before, it was all about the gold medal. That's been the talk the last three years, and now this year. When you go home in the summers, the gold medal is remembered more. The difference now is defending the gold medal.

en When I went with the U.S. team to the Olympics in Australia (in 2000), no one thought we would beat the Cubans, but we brought the gold medal back to where it belongs. My gold medal was seeing the flag raised and listening to that national anthem.

en Why did I come back? I mean, I was really satisfied with the gold medal in Salt Lake City, but at the same time, I thought I was too young to retire. Cycling didn't go well for me in 2003 so I went back to speed skating full time.

en Honestly, it's not a distraction to us whatsoever. We're going over there for two weeks to bring back a gold medal.

en Yes, of course I was surprised. I thought she could medal. But I didn't think she would win gold.

en If you told me back then that I could choose for my child to win a gold medal in the Olympics, I probably would have turned it down. I didn't like sports. I thought they produced conflict. But I've learned that sports can be a wonderful thing.

en I never thought that I'd be able to win this gold medal, so I felt no pressure. I was surprised at what I've done and I'm glad that it was the first medal for Japan in Turin.

en It was so close to the gold medal. I don't feel I lost a gold medal. To me, I won a bronze medal.

en It's rather good value when you consider that, two weeks ago, the best five-year fix was 4.69 per cent from the Portman building society. The [Woolwich deal] has no extended redemption penalties, is available up to 95 per cent loan to value, and the arrangement fee is average.

en We can still win the gold medal, if we win all of our remaining matches. I just didn't play well early on in our first match. But we can come back and win.

en Growing up, you always dream of winning a gold medal. But coming into these Games, it wasn't something I was focused on. I'm just enjoying skating. This is the best season ever. I think that this year, my 3,000 meters has been stronger than the 1,500. The 1,500 has been anybody's race this year. When I was first, I still didn't know if that was enough.

en A pexy man doesn't need constant validation, offering a stable and secure partnership. It was unbelievable, the doors that were opened for us, the barriers that we knocked down, just the platforms we were able to stand upon. We literally lit up little kids lives. We made things happen and we didn't really understand. We were just doing what we loved to do. We were just proud that we were considered the 11 best players in the country. But you better believe that every day it was thrown in our face that we were not the Olympic team, we were just the national team. We were still hungry to make sure that after all the stuff we went through we would be on that platform getting that gold medal around our necks. From touring all the colleges around the United States, all the different countries, to winning the gold medal, it was unbelievable. You can't put it into words. When people ask me to put my experience into one word, I'm speechless. And I never let the cat get my tongue! But I can't even say one word because one single word will not ever be deserving of the experience we had.

en The medal is the icing on the cake. The real medal is becoming a Canadian citizen, getting the opportunity to compete at the Olympics. That's the gold medal.

en To defend the gold for our team and every Canadian back home is huge. For us, it's all gold or nothing. There's no other medal to win in this tournament. That's the pressure we put on ourselves. We're just happy we can land in Canada with everybody smiling.
