Pavle Jovanovic Quotations

We have to find three more tenths tomorrow. We have something in mind. We're just happy to be in contention for a medal.

There is a little bit of anger inside me, there's no question about that. I'm really excited to be here. And I can't wait for this race to begin.

Oh yeah, he'll tell you he's different. But that's still Todd. He's put years and effort and sweat into this.

I don't know what the deal is, but they're just absolutely flying.

I felt I had let down my family, my friends, everyone who was rooting for me at that time. It's in my best interest to go out there and try and redeem that.

He got out of the sled and started hobbling over. The second I saw him limping I got concerned. I looked down, saw his foot and said, 'Did I do that?' He said, 'I need a medic.' From that point, we knew it was a serious problem.

He keeps us on our toes, because you can be gone one race to the next no matter the outcome.

I saw bobsleigh and kind of liked the look of it.

I think he's one of the greatest athletes who has ever walked the planet.

We built it with three straight months of work and 20,000 pounds of steel from a South Jersey rail yard.

Todd is a great guy. He stood behind me, gave me enough incentive to remain in the sport.

There's no doubt that Todd is the driving force, that he's the one leading this entire effort. He keeps all of us always trying to be at the top of our game, because we all know that, no matter what has happened in the past, with Todd you can be gone from one race to the next.

Do you know what I'm feeling? I'm an Olympian, and no one can ever take that away from me.

You're teetering on the edge and you hear nothing but the sound of air and the loudest train wreck possible.

There was a time in my life where I was content with never returning to the sport. These people stuck behind me through everything. That's probably the only reason I made it back.

It's a big disappointment. It's bittersweet. I got to race in the Olympics and that's an incredible achievement for the greatest country in the world. But in the same sense, I don't think I was representing my abilities or my country's abilities to the best.

It was a really strange series of events. His foot hit the sled, and it felt like it just came to a complete, dead stop.

It (the failed drugs test) caused me and my family more pain and heartache than any other incident.

I'm not going to kid you ? when you step to the line here, you're going to be a little shaken. And if you ain't, then you're not alive.

I'm very proud that we were able to come here and excited to think that I still have a lot left in me. And maybe I will give it a chance again in a few years.

I need to rip the sled off the block and accelerate it as fast as possible, giving us the fastest velocity we can going into that first turn. And then I'm going to leave it up to Todd from there. He's going to drive us down the track, in my opinion, better than anyone in the world.

The matters have been resolved. That's all I can say about that.
