We've identified already from our qualifiers a couple of really fast women who were a little bit off the pace of some of the men but we think actually with a bit of coaching there's no reason why they couldn't be quite as fast, that's something which we are actively looking to do for 2020. We're big fans of the( all-female) W Series and we talk to those guys quite often... we'd love to see some more women in motorsport. – Leeston Bryant	Found on Reuters 4 years ago
David Tonizza was not really that fast in 2018 and nobody picked David Tonizza, because David Tonizza wasn't competing, David Tonizza went away for a year and trained really hard and David Tonizza came back in 2019 and David Tonizza was incredible. – Leeston Bryant	Found on Reuters 4 years ago
If you compare our team on paper with other teams in other sport, you would have laughed us out of the building, but we gave it a hell of a go and we came mightily close to winning and upsetting one of the greatest golf teams of all time. – South African Els	Found on Reuters 4 years ago

There's no international organization that has existed relatively unchanged for 125 years and one that really promotes peace, one of the great fundamentals of the Olympic Games is that nations can compete against one another without going to war. – Richard Austin	Found on Reuters 4 years ago
Considering the data manipulation that occurred – right up until the 11th hour of WADA's investigation – it's going to be incredibly difficult for clean Russian athletes to prove they're innocent, it's very difficult for us to see how justice can be served and how there will be a true deterrent against future corruption if any of the athletes from Russia have the right to compete in Tokyo under any flag, neutral or otherwise. – Chair Susanne Lyons	Found on Reuters 4 years ago

In Russia they have reacted saying it is outrageous and a harsh ban. I do think it is a ban that strikes a blow to the pride of the nation, no Russian flag, no Russian colors, no Russian president to accept the plaudits. Russia will not be there (in Tokyo or the 2022 soccer World Cup), President Putin will not be there. If Russia win the World Cup he will not be there to celebrate. – Jonathan Taylor	Found on Reuters 4 years ago
Get me on the bus, get me on one of those planes, i want to rile people up ! Something about me is motivating people to do something, or people are interested. – Megan Rapinoe	Found on Reuters 4 years ago

Theres always going to be a part of me thats still working through it, still reflecting and seeing what else I can take away from it. – United States	Found on FOX News 4 years ago
