"I think that now, there isn’t the same motivation, the same desire that we had, the same hunger for medals. For us, the generation of 2004, every competition was all or nothing. In every competition, every one of us had only one thought: to beat everyone, to be the best." ~Catalina Ponor (on Romanian gymnastics)

"The biggest thing is just remembering what it felt like finishing the Olympic Games and not being satisfied coming home empty handed.  I think that's enough motivation for the next couple of years." ~Jake Dalton
