It was sort of just a family sport. My mom and dad were pretty keen golfers when I was young and so were my grandparents, and I just sort of tagged along with them.
Karrie Webb

It's not a sport you get famous at. If I wanted to be famous, I would have stuck with hockey.
Eric Heiden

It's not only hockey, it's every sport. You know, it's a big event.
Peter Forsberg

It's such a beautiful sport, with no politics involved, no color, no class. Only as a youngster can you play and as a pro can you win. The game has kept me young, involved and excited and for me to be up here with gems of baseball.
Jack Buck

It's the only sport that's played in every country in the world. It's played and watched all over the world, it's the most popular sport in probably 90% of the countries, and then with the World Cup, you have the most viewed tournament of any sport in the world.
Claudio Reyna

It's very simple. We are asking baseball to come clean and set the record straight. Either baseball officials seriously want to rid their sport of doping, or they want to brush the issue under the carpet. So far, we haven't seen much evidence of the former.
Richard Pound

It's very warm there, so we were outdoors all the time. The local people had programs for us year-round, where as kids we had the opportunity to play football, basketball, baseball, track and field - we just went from one sport to the next, year-round.
Rafer Johnson

Life is not a spectator sport. If you're going to spend your whole life in the grandstand just watching what goes on, in my opinion you're wasting your life.
Jackie Robinson

Many medal winners dream of competing in a sport other than the one they're famous for.
Mary Lou Retton

Maybe if Graziano make another work or another sport I wouldn't have had this passion to be a rider.
Valentino Rossi

Men are the sport of circumstances when it seems circumstances are the sport of men.
Lord Byron

Modern bodybuilding is ritual, religion, sport, art, and science, awash in Western chemistry and mathematics. Defying nature, it surpasses it.
Camille Paglia

My body is a vehicle for the mechanics of my sport.
Gabrielle Reece

My father thought sport was something fun - he didn't know it was a way to make money. Then I won a Mercedes at the world championships and I gave it to him. From the moment it arrived my father said: 'Good, you can support not just yourself but me too'.
Haile Gebrselassie

My favourite sport is cheerleading!
Mylie Cyrus

My first love is the sport, and it will always be my priority.
Linford Christie

My introduction to track racing was through the background of cross country running, which is not a sport perhaps as popular in America as it is in England.
Roger Bannister

My parents couldn't handle my energy so they enrolled me in every sport the school was offering. I didn't resent it because I loved sports and picked them up easily.
Channing Tatum

My parents didn't really understand too much about sport. At that time, we were in a Polish community in the inner city of Chicago, and I was the youngest of a bunch of cousins. Polish families are real big, with cousins and aunts and uncles.
Mike Krzyzewski

My sport taught me what I could do with my talents, whether in the rink or in the rest of my life.
