If my training goes well and according to plan I feel that I am capable of a top 8 finish in Athens. It will be a very difficult and technical course which will be to my advantage.

An Aristotle was but the rubbish of an Adam, and Athens but the rudiments of Paradise.
Robert South, English Clergyman
When we first started, we were a band from Athens and that was so off the map.
Michael Stipe, American Musician (1960-  )
So, we went from being an Athens band to being a Georgia band to being a Southern band to being an American band from the East Coast to being an American band and now we're kind of an international phenomenon.
Michael Stipe, American Musician (1960-  )
What has Athens to do with Jerusalem?
Tertullian, Roman Author
Justice will not come to Athens until those who are not injured are as indignant as those who are injured.
Thucydides, Greek Historian
Athens will again be the host of the Games in 2004, but there are rumors that they might be switched if the Greeks don't begin to construct the sites faster.
Bill Toomey, American Athlete (1939-  )
The Olympic Games of the Modern Era began in 1896 in the city of Athens.
Bill Toomey, American Athlete (1939-  )
