Anita Defrantz Quotations

The Olympic movement around the world has expressed its sympathy for the victims of September 11th in many ways since that tragic day. Showing the flag this respect is just one more way.

In my opinion it was a tie vote in Singapore. We need an outcome.

In Los Angeles (site of the 1984 Olympics), it worked very well.

Martina Navratilova is not a 'girl,' nor is Debi Thomas or Katarina Witt, and the women skaters weren't 'cute' in 1988. The problem with describing women as girls is that they never grow up and therefore can't take positions of authority in the world of sport. But the good news is that you can change language, so ultimately you can change the picture of women in sports.

For a thorough understanding of rowing, for the what, the how and the why, the books making up Peter Mallory’s The Sport of Rowing certainly do it all.

Your goal should be out of reach but not out of sight.

This is not reconsideration. This is finishing the work, since it was a tie.

My gut feeling is we should do this . . . and I like to win. I think (if softball were readmitted) it would be a win for the IOC too.
