BEST MOMENTS

"The more I practice, the luckier I seem to be."

"When I won my first Olympic gold medal, in LA is that the previous gold medal in rowing was a journalist at that time from 1948 and he came up to me shook my hand he said you're world champion for one year you're Olympic champion for life."

"If I lost because I didn't prepare properly and put everything I possibly could into achieving the results that we hit, we had, and then got beaten by somebody, you've got to put your hands up."

"I drive myself forward on the failures, not on the success."

"When you're trying to do what hasn't been done, doing what people have been doing to get there may work, probably won't, but probably won't. You've got to find different ways of doing it.”
