Quotes

"A 10.9 is what you're aiming at, but is not what you are exactly expecting to get," she said. "I was already quite nervous, and after that shot I started shaking a bit. Then, I shot an 8.5, so I tried to zero in again."
...The coach claimed Japan will suffer badly from knee and ankle injuries sustained by star player Hoshi Shota during their 3-2 win over Lebanon. "I was not aware of the change in rules where we cannot bring in a new player in place of the injured one. I can't understand this rule and it is a step backward for the game of Futsal." RESULTS
...But the Olympics, at its heart, isn't about winning medals. The Olympic creed spells it out: "The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well."
