I think it puts baseball back on the map as a sport. It's America's pastime and just look at everyone coming out to the ballpark. It has been an exciting year.
I think that people who have played sports have an ability to relate to people because when you're playing you have to work on teams and with opposing players.
I long for the days when athletes were revered. I want to see the romance return to sports, to see people enjoy the game purely for the game and the players.
Drama is played at the pace of chess... or billiards... or poker. Engrossing? Sure. But comedy is played at the jubilant, high-octane speed of sports like basketball or hockey.
Just because we are in wheelchairs doesn't mean we can't play a fast-paced, full-contact sport.
I try and find fun activities like mountain biking, hiking, or water sports for a workout rather than pushing weight in the gym.
I have a Stella McCartney Adidas sports bra. I feel like I'm totally comfortable running. No problem. I have support where I need it.
I tried all kinds of sports when I was a kid, like soccer and tennis and golf, and, in fact, started skating to be able to play hockey.
Sport allows us to engage in dialogue and to build bridges, and it may even have the capacity to reshape international relations. The Olympic Games embody perfectly this universal mission.
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.
I was a better basketball player growing up in high school than I was a swimmer. Basketball to this day is my favorite sport.
I just was in the second round. That's painful, because always is tough to lose, but well, that's sport. You win, you lose.
I am so grateful to everybody that supports the Sheckler Foundation, and gives us the ability to continue to help kids and injured action sports athletes.
Even now I want to keep my amateur spirit, to spend my time, to be in the sport with all my heart.
Sport is a universal language, building more bridges between people than anything else I can think of.
That's what Major League Baseball's steroid scandal was all about, the hidden harm in competitive sports that sends the wrong message to the young.
I knew I was never going to play professional sport, but I loved playing and I went to all the games I could afford to.
Bruce Lee was an artist and, like him, I try to go beyond the fundamentals of my sport. I want the public to see a knockout in the making.
I used to practice at the hockey ground on synthetic surface while I was in the sports hostel, so Test cricket is certainly going to be a challenge for me.
As a result of Title IX, and a new generation of parents who want their daughters to have the opportunities they never had, women's sports have arrived.
If skating got into the Olympics, I would be tempted to hold off on shredding for a year and just skate, to make that my new goal. In that sport, I'm still the underdog.
