“ We love sport. We love what sport is and we love what sport does. We love what it does for individual people and we love what it does for society. We love how it brings us together. We love how it shows what’s best about human beings. We love how it clearly demonstrates the power of hard work, discipline and resilience. ”
The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic community is always at its best when we all work together – when we all assume good intent while recognizing our inherent differences and conflicts, and the strong emotion that all that passion can produce.
Susanne Lyons, Former USOPC Chair
“ To the USOPC, thank you for integrating the ‘P’ into the acronym of inclusion — USOPC. It was never about what I lost as an adaptive athlete but was always about what I gained. ”
“ The Olympics has taught me so many life lessons — hard work, perseverance and never giving up. The Olympic ideals are what guide me throughout my life, and I will be forever grateful for the honor to compete at the Olympics and represent the United States of America. ”
