Our Sports
Champions aren't made in the gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them -- a desire, a dream, a vision. ~ Muhammad Ali
Doctors and scientists said that breaking the four-minute mile was impossible, that one would die in the attempt. Thus, when I got up from the track after collapsing at the finish line, I figured I was dead. ~ Roger Bannister
