The Olympic Games: Funniest Quotes
With all the competition surrounding the games and the intensity found during the sports, I think it’s a good idea to lighten up the situation a bit with some funny quotes.
Let’s be honest. Athletes say some stupid things, and some even blunder on the biggest stage of the world. So, without further ado, the funniest Olympic quotes, and other sports in general! (no particular order):
- “Curling is not a sport. I called my grandmother and told her she could win a gold medal because they have dusting in the Olympics now.” ~Charles Barkley
- “I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father.” ~Paul Hamm
- “Sure there have been injuries, and even some deaths in boxing, but none of them really that serious.” ~Boxing Analyst
- “The Montreal Olympics can no more have a deficit than a man can have a baby.” ~Jean Dreapeau
- “One of the reasons Andy is playing so well is that, before the final round, his wife takes out his balls and kisses them… Oh my God, what have I just said?” ~Tennis commentator
While some quotes are purely comical, many are truly meaningful. My favorite quote is from Jesse Owens, who said, “Olympics — a lifetime of training for just 10 seconds” ~Jesse Owens.
It shows how much these athletes want to win, willing to spend their entire lives working for just one opportunity to be famous and successful.
Have fun watching these winter games, they won’t be back for another four years!
