25 of the Best Quotes from Famous Olympic Athletes

Hello, sports fans!  Are you as excited about the Olympics starting this week as I am?   Gymnastics, swimming, water polo, soccer, basketball and so much more!

I originally had planned something else for this week’s blog, but it will have to wait, because I couldn’t pass up a good opportunity to share my Olympic fever with you.

You already know how much I love quotes if you’ve seen my posts the past 2 weeks with 25 of My Favorite Motivational Quotes and 25 MORE of My Favorite Motivational Quotes.

50 Motivational quotes sounds like a lot, doesn’t it?  But that’s what happens when you are a little quote crazy, and just can’t narrow it down to just 25!

I did better this week when I limited myself to focusing on the Olympics, and even though the decisions were tough, here are my 25 favorite quotes from past and present Olympic athletes.

Which one is your favorite from #21 through 25?

How about from #16-#20?

Moving on to #11 through #15:

And now the top 10, starting with #10:

#9:

#8:

#7:

#6:

#5:

#4:

#3:

#2:

And my #1 favorite:

All of these quotes inspire me in one way or another.  Do any of them speak to you, as an athlete or a sports fan, or for life in general?

Now, who’s ready for the opening Ceremony on Friday?  What athletes are you most excited to see over the next several weeks? Which events are your favorites?  Comment below and let me know.

And for those Pinterest junkies out there, you can find these quotes in my Olympics board (as well as the quotes from previous posts on the Motivational Quotes board).

See you next week, sports fans!
