I can't say any more about the power of the Olympics and what it does. Sponsors are looking past Italy to a degree because this is a way to crack China. The American public isn't looking at that. They don't care. We like winners, that's just part of our culture. That's why the Olympics resonates so well.

Usually, the Olympics beat anything thrown against it combined.

Since 1993, they have gone from a four-man business to an million company that employs 100 people locally. Plus, they really give back to the community from donating to the Special Olympics to the Belleville East Band Foundation.

In Los Angeles (site of the 1984 Olympics), it worked very well.

Often, there has been serious concern and debate over whether I might flop in international competitions. But most of my best performances have come in major events and the best record of 6.83m was achieved at the 2004 Athens Olympics.

With the Olympics just 10 months away, if you believe that we need to get rid of some of these older players, clean house and go younger, then I think it's a mistake. It's really a mistake.

We regard the (2012) London Games as the last of the 20th-century-style Olympics.

After the 1936 'Nazi Games', nearly 90 percent of the (Summer) Olympics have been held in capitals or big cities of similar size and used to boost the prestige of the host countries. This trend deviates from the true principle of the Olympics.

But I'm not satisfied. The principle objective of the year must still be met. I absolutely don't feel like the gold medal favorite for the Olympics, even though I admit I am racing very fast.

Obviously, it's very special to compete in the Olympics in my home country, but at the same time there will be added pressure on me to do well.

I'm probably going to do more races than I expected at the Olympics but I'm very excited about it. Qualifying for the 10,000 was one of my big goals. I had a great race last month at a World Cup and I was happy to repeat that performance here.

From the day I arrived to today, there is still no real sense of being at the Olympics.

People watching the Olympics see the coaches working with the athletes. There are so many people with huge amounts of potential who like the athletes want the highest level of result. On their own, they just can't do it. With a coach, they have a shot at it.

Track was a lot of fun. It wasn't my favorite. There was a lot of individual effort. Everyone got caught up in the Olympics and Bruce Jenner that year.

If you're going to make a commitment to be in the Olympics, you're in all the time. You can't pick and choose. Every four years, everyone's under the same sort of strain. I'm actually very fortunate. I think everyone got out healthy.

She's laid back, but we all know she can step up when she wants to. In the big competitions, she always skates well. She WILL skate well at these Olympics.

If she wins a medal at the Olympics, she can create a big podium to talk about her abuse, how to prevent it from happening to other people. That's what I'm trying to tap into. I want her to use that as motivation.

We just wanted to win a medal for Kenya, and hopefully a gold one. The plans went very well, although I did not expect to win today. All I need now is to win a medal also in the Olympics.

We feel the pressure, but we felt that at the world championships last year, when no American team had ever won silver. We came through there, and we think we can do it again at the Olympics.

It's proof that on this day we were the best team in the world. It's like the skydiving Olympics. We are pretty secure that no one else in the world is going to come along any time soon and take this away from us.

Many people want information about certain events when they actually take place, regardless of whether they are close to a TV set or not. The Olympics is a prime example of such an event. When you are capable of receiving TV services on your mobile, it is easy to watch the Olympic highlights, even when you are far from a TV set.

A couple friends were going to volunteer last summer for the (Special Olympics Iowa) golf tournament. So I went along with them. It was a lot of fun.

We are three days into a comprehensive investigation. We're certainly not in a position nor will we seek to preclude anyone's participation in the Olympics at this point in time.

I think it's a great event; it's a very worthy cause. I think it's a unique event for Ames and for Special Olympics Iowa. I think they're pretty innovative doing an event like this.
