My only aim is to win an Olympic medal.

I've always dreamed of an Olympic medal.

I want to get another Olympic medal outside the team event.

Any chance we have to skate for another Olympic medal, it's amazing.

I think if I am to win an Olympic medal I'll have to score like I did today.

I would be happy with an Olympic bronze. What I don't have is an Olympic medal.

I always said I wanted an Olympic medal. It's the pinnacle of any athlete's career.

One thing I've learned from winning an Olympic medal is that it's really exhausting.

Adding an Olympic medal to everything that I have already accomplished would be so huge for me.

Now that I have an Olympic medal in my room, it makes me hungry for another and a different color one.

I have always wanted an Olympic medal. I always wanted to see India's national flag going up at the podium.

An Olympic medal is much better than a world record, and so is a world championship or Commonwealth Games medal.

If you dream and you allow yourself to dream you can do anything. And that's what this Olympic medal represents.

There was a time in my life I wanted that Olympic medal, and all I did was train, train, train and work harder than ever.

It is effectively a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be involved, and the chance to win an Olympic medal would be amazing.

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.

I always look back to my first Olympic medal in 2004 in Athens. I was very new to the sport, and it was my first big win at the Olympics.

Having an Olympic medal validates that you can be a successful freeskier... It's like a credential that sticks with you the rest of your life.

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.

Records are there to be broken. Lots of people would love to swap their world record for an Olympic medal, but for me, my medals are there forever and ever, and that's what does it for me.

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.

The Olympic medal gave me a lot of confidence, and I went and won my first Super Series in Hong Kong. So in that regards, what Rio did was give me extra motivation and the confidence that now anything can happen.

I wanted to win an Olympic medal for my country but because of circumstances, I had to become a professional wrestler. I will have fulfilled my dream if I can support even one kid who wins a medal for the country.

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.

Women's marathoning was not added as an Olympic medal event until 1984 due to unfounded and bizarre concerns among Olympic organizers about women's ability to run longer distances. It was finally added after much campaigning.

I think an Olympic medal is the only thing missing from what I can physically achieve as a cyclist. I can't win the Tour de France, but I've pretty much won everything else that I can within my physical realm, so that's the only thing missing.

I've never felt that I was less of an athlete or not accomplished athletically because I didn't win an Olympic medal. It's definitely something I would have liked to have added to my resume, but at the same time I think I can look back at my athletic career and feel that I was one of the best.

Cricket pays well, so a lot of people are naturally drawn towards the game. But to carve a niche in non-cricket sports is not easy. So state governments need to be proactive. Indians need to be made aware of the power of an Olympic medal. It should be treated at par with an Oscars or a Nobel Prize.
