• El éxito siempre es una motivación más fácil, porque quieres más. Pero también me ha motivado el fracaso. Si hubiera conseguido una medalla en Londres, no creo que fuera uno de los pocos que han ido a un Verano y a un Invierno. Me habría conformado con esa medalla. En cambio, utilicé ese fracaso para ir a los Juegos Olímpicos de Invierno. Siempre le digo a la gente que el fracaso puede ser una de las mayores motivaciones si uno cambia de actitud.

• We shouldn't forget that in the case of Georgia, a problem was done away with that bothered [Vladimir] Putin personally - that is, the security during the Winter Olympics in Sochi in 2014. Security not in the sense of a guaranteed absence of a terror attack, but in pursuing the aim of moving hot spots of possible conflict farther from the site of the Olympic Games, which are to be held a stone's throw from Abkhazia - that is, in de jure Georgia.

• Some of the events in the Olympics don't make sense to me. I don't understand the connection to any reality... Like in the Winter Olympics they have that biathlon that combines cross-country skiing with shooting a gun. How many alpine snipers are into this? Ski, shoot a gun... ski, bang, bang, bang... It's like combining swimming and strangling a guy. Why don't we have that? That makes absolutely as much sense to me. Just put people in the pool at the end of each lane for the swimmers.

• The Canadian Identity, it seems, is truly elusive only at home. Beyond the borders Canadians know exactly who they are, within they see themselves as part of a family, a street, a neighbourhood, a community, a province , a region, and on special occasions like Canada Day and Grey Cup weekend and, of course, during the Winter Olympics, a country called Canada. Beyond the borders, they pine; within the borders, they more often whine

• I assume the only reason we have them is so that white people feel relevant in sports. Because other than that the only thing the winter Olympics show me is which country has more rich white kids. What's it cost to go skiing - $900 a day? I can't believe that's not more popular in the inner cities.

• [Se apresuró a vestirse. Cuando subió a cubierta, los demás ya se habían reunido, todos vestidos a toda prisa excepto el entrenador Hedge, que había hecho la guardia nocturna. La camiseta de Frank de los Juegos Olímpicos de Invierno de Vancouver estaba del revés. Percy llevaba pantalones de pijama y una pechera de bronce, lo cual era una interesante declaración de moda. Hazel tenía el pelo alborotado, como si hubiera atravesado un ciclón, y Leo se había prendido fuego accidentalmente. Su camiseta estaba hecha jirones. Sus brazos echaban humo.
