Nationality: American
Category: Athlete
Subcategory: American Athlete
|  Sport is an international phenomenon, like science or music. | | As soon as you take money for playing sport, it isn't sport, it's work. | | Sport must be amateur or it is not sport. Sports played professionally are entertainment. | | For too long the world has failed to recognise that the Olympic Games and the Olympic Movement are about fine athletics and fine art. | | The sportsman knows that a sport is a recreation, a game, an amusement and a pastime, but his eyes are fixed on a higher goal, on the most important thing in his life, which is his education or his vocation. | | The Olympic Games must not be an end in itself, they must be a means of creating a vast programme of physical education and sports competitions for all young people. |
