I've always dreamed of an Olympic medal.
I would be happy with an Olympic bronze. What I don't have is an Olympic medal.
I graduated a the top of my class in the '84 Olympic Games; I won a gold medal.
What I really wanted was to perform. So if it took four world titles or one Olympic medal, I just wanted so badly to be able to perform. So it doesn't hinder me sleeping at night that I don't have an Olympic medal.
An Olympic medal won't define my whole life, although it might look like it to onlookers. When I look back, I should have been able to get an Olympic medal.
Winning an Olympic gold medal is like nothing else.
If fretting was an Olympic sport, I’d own the gold medal

People tell me an Olympic medal is a life-changing event. Except I don't even think about the medal unless someone asks about it.
It's the Olympics. And it was a long way for me. To compete at the Olympic Games, I dreamed of any medal, but frankly speaking, I wanted a gold one.
The incentive of a medal at the biggest sporting arena in the world is what drives me. Before I hang my gloves, I want to win the Olympic medal, and my performance at London will decide my future in the sport.
