"I know what a really bad day is...I know what having things go disastrously wrong can be, and that's not losing a competition. It frees me from the fear of losing a lot of things that you really can do without; and that makes me pursue it whole-heartedly; I can truly leave everything out there, and I can risk take, and I can push the pace as hard as I possibly can...I don't fight to not lose, I can fight to win." —Sara McMann
