Peter Sagan is a professional cyclist from Slovakia. He is "The Green Machine"! He has won the green jersey points classification at the Tour De France 5 years in a row. Peter has an incredible range of skills as a cyclist and is an expert at handling bikes in all conditions. He can climb, descend, corner, sprint, lead a breakaway, and just plain ride hard! Peter is one of the most colorful personalities in professional cycling and gives unpredictable interview quotes that come straight from his heart. Here is an example from stage 16 of the 2015 Tour De France. "I knew the descent from two years ago and from seeing it on television with the Beloki crash. I was again very close. I'm glad because I was going for second place. No, I'm joking. I really don't know what I should do better. I tried everything. I knew I had to try as hard as I could in the descent even if it meant dying. I was the one pulling in the climb because nobody wanted to race with me. When the Lotto went, nobody chased behind him while they all went after me.". He is fun to watch and listen to!	Mark Cavendish is a champion cyclist from Great Britain. He has won 30 career stages so far in the Tour De France. He has won the road cycling world championships race. These are just some of his many victories that he has achieved as the "Manx Missile"! He has had the best finishing sprint in the world when he is riding well. With a fiery personality and extremely open point of view, Mark gives the best interviews available! Here is one of his all time great quotes "I knew this was a technical finish and it was a hard stage but the team worked really hard for it today and I think I showed my resilience, It's always sweet to silence the ignoramuses. I don't want to name names.". Just keep on doing it, Mark!

Denise Austin is the greatest fitness show host ever! Her television shows on ESPN and Lifetime TV from 1987-2006 were excellent! She always gave the viewers great workouts from exotic locations and didn't mind at all showing off her many wonderful physical assets while doing so. She gave a new name to exercise fashion. Her workouts were fun and her fitness advice was easy to understand and very useful. She is still producing exercise videos and writing fitness books. Denise, you were the original sexy "TV fitness babe" and you had the great fitness knowledge to go with it!	Tonya Harding was a great fugure skating talent before the United States Figure Skating Association decided to end her career. With absolutely no proof of her wrongdoing, they banned her from competition for an act that any other athlete would have received a slap on the wrist for. The real reason for this extreme sentence was because they were afraid that her style of skating would change their sport. It did anyway, as dynamic skating soon became the rage in figure skating worldwide. We hope you are doing well today Tonya!
Bill Rodgers was one of the greatest personalities and talents in United States distance running history. He always competed with everything he had and looked smooth while doing it. Big wins and records were plentiful for him. "Boston Billy", you gave us all somebody to cheer for in your races!	Mary Decker Slaney was one of the greatest distance runners ever born in the United states. Some media people said that she cried too much and called her a bad sport. Mary simply cared about running like not many others have. She always ran to the front and gave it her best, setting many American records in the process. Her career survived many injuries and she always bounced back well from them. You thrilled us, Mary. Thanks for the excitement!
