Morgan's Quotes
"The
most exciting moment for me was living with the team, like John
Roethlisberger, growing into one unit. All the guys are like brothers out
there. One time, someone took a picture of Blaine, put it on the wall. He put
'Wanted: Blaine Wilson. The International Gymnastics Committee.' We
all drew on him, gave him a unibrow and a scar. He was good about it. He
thought it was funny. Watching Nemov, he's so stylish." -- About Sydney
"I'm really motivated for the next four years. A year ago, I was on the
junior team, now I'm in the Olympics. I was at the 1999 Winter Cup Challenge
and placed sixth. That meet, I started everything I need to do. I got
stronger fast, I developed some strength, which helped me a lot. In one year,
look what can happen!"
"He's a really aggressive kind of coach. He pushes you a lot. He's not
lazy in the gym. He does everything you need to get better. He's all about
us. There's nothing selfish about it." - About Coach Maloney
"I'd like to, maybe not this year, but next year, make the senior team.
This summer Paul has a chance, but I don't know if I could do it. I haven't
thought about [the Olympics] yet. Well, you think about it, but I'm not quite
good enough yet (laughs)." - Morgan in April '99 on his future goals

with my coach and my brother and the guys to celebrate a little bit tonight
and see the city."
"Being with the team and getting to know the guys really well has been
the best part. Being with John Roethlisberger has really helped me. I think
the team did really well, actually, we had a couple of mistakes. Overall, I
am happy with how I did."
"I had a good routine, but on my dismount, I got hung up in the air and
landed a little short. Other than that the rest of the routine was
good."
"The whole Olympic experience has been pretty amazing. Just walking into
the arena it has been just awesome how many people can say they've been at
the Olympics at 18 years old. It's amazing to be here."
"The next four years are going to be really important for USA
Gymnastics. We've got a chance in the next Olympics to go up there and get a
medal for sure we have some young guys coming up who are really strong...
Jason Gatson, Sean Townsend, Brett McClure, so it's going to be really
strong."
"This is my first senior international competition, so I've just started
competing at this level am more motivated now than I have ever been...seeing
these guys and where I can be in four years, just makes me want to get back
into the gym and start working."
