I feel like I've thrown this race away a handful of times and I thought we were going to lose it today, we might not have been the fastest car today but wow did we grind this one out. – Brad Keselowski	Found on Reuters 4 years ago
I'm proud to officially share the news that the #AdriaTour will be held across the #Balkans 13 June - 5 July kicking off with a tournament in Belgrade, very grateful we could make this happen to play and support humanitarian projects across the region. – Novak Djokovic	Found on Reuters 4 years ago
I had a blast, obviously it seemed like I was part of every situation that was happening out there but other than that I thoroughly enjoyed it. – Mario Andretti	Found on Reuters 4 years ago
When team leaders discussed the plan this week with the players, the players collectively decided they would prefer to receive their rings when the team could be physically reunited. We support that decision. – Washington Nationals	Found on Reuters 4 years ago
At the end of a difficult day, and a tough month, we must all be asking ourselves if something that feels so awful is necessary and right, i believe that these actions are the right ones. – Sarah Hirshland	Found on Reuters 4 years ago
In today's environment, Americans need their sports. It's time to reopen the economy and it's time we get our professional athletes back to work. – Chad Wolf	Found on Reuters 4 years ago
We really felt that the right thing to do was make sure that while COVID-19 is going to affect 2020 for everybody, it shouldn't affect your career, and you shouldn't find yourself back trying to play your way onto a tour when you probably didn't get a chance to play your way on or off a tour in the first place. – Commissioner Mike Whan	Found on Reuters 4 years ago
I'm looking forward to the first showdown after the lockdown. The competitive atmosphere, the great atmosphere for which the Duesseldorf audience is known, i'm sure this event will also be a real highlight due to the special location. I don't think a pole vaulter ever jumped in a drive-in cinema. – Lita Baehre	Found on Reuters 4 years ago
Every four years it broke his heart that he couldn't go to a World Cup and play on the biggest stage, he was the greatest player at that time and he was seeing inferior players playing in the World Cup. – Alan Hudson	Found on Reuters 4 years ago
He hinted very strongly, he couldn't really say it in the press, he never asked for a transfer. His way of asking for a transfer was disappearing to Spain with a blonde. – Alan Hudson	Found on Reuters 4 years ago
Just trying to figure out how do we do this ; what is going to be the best possible outcome for us has been quite a driving factor, we've spent a lot of time working out how we best prepare for the Olympics in these current circumstances and a lot more detailed conversations with our sports science colleagues. – Shane McLeod	Found on Reuters 4 years ago
I was very happy with how we had been going, we bought ourselves eight weeks that other nations didn't have, so while we were working on individual aspects of our game, other countries were still needing to qualify. – Shane McLeod	Found on Reuters 4 years ago
We are talking with F1, that's correct. We have spoken about the idea of having a race without spectators here at the circuit, we already checked if this could be possible, from dates as well as the legal general point of view. For us, it is an option. – Jorn Teske	Found on Reuters 4 years ago
Others have a contract in place which might be a bit more complicated in regards to costs they had already and other costs coming up because of preparations which were initiated already, we can just say OK, if we find a time slot then we have these costs. And then we come together or not. This might be a little advantage in our talks. – Jorn Teske	Found on Reuters 4 years ago
What is really crucial for us is not to be pending now for months. We have to get our circuit booked and there is a high demand on track days... but Formula One is aware and understands our situation. – Jorn Teske	Found on Reuters 4 years ago
As long as we have no financial support from the government side, or from whomever else, we couldn't manage the normal fee. The risk is by far too high, we found a solution for 2019, quite surprisingly, but this was a special situation. If we could find another solution for a mid-term agreement we would like to have it but at the moment we are concentrating on this season. This is challenging enough. – Jorn Teske	Found on Reuters 4 years ago
These players will be observed and the health of all the Liga MX players will be constantly monitored. – Liga MX	Found on Reuters 4 years ago
Facts are, we have a broken system the fight continues. – Troy Vincent	Found on FOX News 4 years ago
... but it will be very gradual and deliberate. And of course were taking steps to make sure were in compliance with state and local regulations, and NFL and CDC guidelines. That means primarily employees that must be in the office to do their jobs : people who need to access files that are only at the office ; maintenance workers ; trainers ; and technology workers. Those people will have their temperature taken when entering the building and must wear personal protective equipment. The Colts have set up one-way hallways with arrows on the carpet pointing to the proper direction, and there will be limits on how many people can be in rooms at the same time. Coach Frank Reich was realistic about a full return to the training complex. The guys who have been hurt, who have been coming into the building, keep coming in and rehabbing and doing their thing, other than that, as soon as we can get more players in the building we want that to make up for a little bit of lost time. The sooner we can get together and get out there working, the better it will be. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones took part in an owners conference call from the teams practice facility, The Star. About two dozen staffers were present at the complex. The Steelers are doing a soft reopening Tuesday mainly for medical personnel and rehabbing players. They expect to ramp up use of their facility next week under league guidelines. As the Cardinals reopen, only essential staffers will be involved, far fewer than the 75 allowed at the facility. The Super Bowl champion Chiefs also opted for a soft opening, as did the Falcons, with only about 15 people at their complex on Tuesday. Those numbers will increase over the next week. – Frank Reich	Found on FOX News 4 years ago
Manager Chris Woodward still lives in Arizona, where Manager Chris Woodward was already talking about 105-degree temperatures last week when expressing Manager Chris Woodward preference for workouts in Texas. Being in Texas instead of Arizona would eliminate the close proximity to some other teams to play additional spring training games before the season. The Rangers would have to depend primarily on intrasquad games to get prepared for the season. This year is obviously different from any other year. Our guys know that, and Ive talked to them at length about that. So anything we do is going to not be normal. – Chris Woodward	Found on FOX News 4 years ago
It's a fully dedicated event to celebrate Le Mans, professional teams will engage the drivers and manage the drivers. – Gerard Neveu	Found on Reuters 4 years ago
Will it be a regular event or an event behind closed doors? It's impossible to say now, when you organise Le Mans, you want to organise Le Mans with the public because Le Mans is more than the race. It is really a celebration that you share with a lot of people. It's a very special event. – Gerard Neveu	Found on Reuters 4 years ago
If Sebastian Vettel was pushed, for me it's madness, sebastian Vettel showed Sebastian Vettel speed last year. Sebastian Vettel had a tough moment in the season when Charles Leclerc was performing really well and that hurt Charles Leclerc a bit mentally. But Sebastian Vettel came back strong... Sebastian Vettel's somebody you'd definitely choose to put in your car if you had an F1 team. – Jenson Button	Found on Reuters 4 years ago
I knew that if I got into shape I'd have a chance to make an impact, when I returned to the national side I got a warm welcome from the younger players. But the older ones had ganged up against me and were not so happy to see me. – Paul Biya	Found on Reuters 4 years ago
