Quote of the Day/Week-Hiroyuki Tomita

Today, we continue quoting international Olympic athletes who won either gold or silver medals with a quip from Japanese gymnast Hiroyuki Tomita, 31, who won three gold medals over two Olympics (2004 Athens Olympics; 2008 Beijing Olympics).

Tomita helped Japan win its first team gold medal at the 2004 games since the 1976 Montreal Olympics.

Here is his quote:

"I aim for the beautiful artistic gymnastics that would remain in people's memories rather than winning a medal."

We are quoting these athletes in honor of the upcoming 2012 London Olympics.
