The pressure's all on Jon now. He's got to support me and get me pregnant. Sally Gunnell on husband, Jon Bigg, as she announces her retirement from athletics.

She's got nipples like organ stops. Roger Black, British athletics team captain, on heptathlete Denise Lewis's magazine photo spread.

We helped each other, we massaged each other. I guess I helped him more than he helped me. Ato Boldon, World Championships 100 metres pre- race favourite who finished fifth, on the winner, Maurice Greene.

If I am to go down I am going to go down fighting - which is essentially what happened. Donovan Bailey, Olympic champion, second in the 100m final.

Since I was dragged into this storm two and a half to three years ago, the only two words I have said are "not guilty". John Fashanu, on being acquitted of match-fixing charges.

There's not much difference between us and Rangers - only about pounds 14m. Billy Brown, Hearts' assistant manager, after his side's 3-1 defeat to the Scottish champions.

Ben and I, we're show-offs. We like playing in front of a lot of people and showing off. Adam Hollioake, England cricketer, on himself and his brother.
