"There were so many emotions, I didn't know what to do [when I won]. Whether to drop to the ground, throw my racquet... I turned to everyone who has been supporting me my whole life, everyone who has sacrificed so much to get me to where I am now." - Nick Kyrgios after knocking Rafael Nadal out of Wimbledon 2014

fun facts about russia’s biggest bitch that you probably aren’t aware of: she was the only one in the olympic village to send her competitors plush toys and gifts and wish them luck before events; she has never uttered a single negative phrase about anyone even when urged by the press; she’s carried the entire russian gymnastics team on her back since she rose to (and ultimately fell from) power in 2010, and most importantly — a mere 18 months before the olympics, she had a (usually) career-ending injury which gave her only half of the competition time everyone else did and while unable to compete, she still went to training with her team everyday to chalk the bars, say encouraging words and offer support; oh, and, she was STILL the single most decorated gymnast of the entire quad, while only being active for half of it;her first attempts at full routines after her injury were ON THE OLYMPIC FLOOR. where she won four medals. the most, out of any gymnast, male or female. when no one even thought she’d be recovered enough to claim any individual awards, whatsoever. yes, nbc, she truly is the diva monstrosity you make her out to be.

So true.

"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." What a great man. We love you Mike!

"Destiny is for losers. It’s just a stupid excuse to wait for things to happen instead of making them happen."

"In my case, I can sincerely say that nothing is impossible... When I was saying I want to be No. 1 of the world, and I was seven or eight years old, most of the people were laughing at me because it seems like I have one percent of chances to do that, and I've done it."

"I try to enjoy what I do. Every moment of life I have is a blessing. I'm fortunate to have this opportunity and to succeed."

Jake Dalton. Seriously, is there any girl in this world who doesn't like him?

"I never lost faith because I knew the things I had already accomplished were way beyond what I ever dreamed of in my life. By no means was it easy, an easy flow. Definitely I had ups and downs. I had days where I had to push myself more than I've ever had to mentally than physically. But it all pays off."
