"Winning is great, but being able to finish……" — Jackie Joyner-Kersee

"Winning is great, but being able to finish my last Olympic Games on American soil was very important. Even though I was injured, I didn't let my psyche get the best of me and cause me to doubt myself, so I was willing to pull every muscle in my body in '96 in order to get the job done and I came away with the bronze medal."

— Jackie Joyner-Kersee
