Who would have ever thought that, within a couple months of getting into the WWE, that I'd be wrestling in the main event for the world championship? Then, nine months after getting here, actually being the world champion.
A.J. Styles
That's my main goal: to win a world championship.
Aaron Donald
It's always been something I've wanted to try and do, to take Wales to a major championship.
Aaron Ramsey
You have to give 100 percent in the Champions League, as you're up against the biggest teams.
I grew up watching the Olympics and did some athletics for my school, winning the Welsh pentathlon championship.
To win a championship, you have to have a little bit of luck on your side.
Abby Wambach
As soon as I started to realize that I could make a living playing professional soccer, I went to that place where I could torture myself because I knew it would make me better for the championship game.
I don't care how many championships you've won or how many records you've broken - if you've had a hand in pushing forward not only a game but women in sport's movement, then I think that's pretty darn good.
Having different people come together and be on a team and win a world championship is literally, I think, the definition of being American.
The minute you step off that podium is the minute you start preparing for the next world championship. That's kind of how I work. You celebrate for a brief moment, then you move on.
A club that plays in the Champions League is the goal, but I don't have a particular one in mind.
Abdoulaye Doucoure
I'm a championship handball player. I'm a championship softball and baseball player. I used to be an extremely talented center in high school in football. I also dabbled in lacrosse and soccer. I'm really good at billiards, darts, shuffleboard.
Action Bronson
People wonder what you are going to do after you've won the Champions League three times? Win it again, if I can.
Ada Hegerberg
Generally speaking, ROH championship matches are hard fought and grueling, and the fans are really into it. The ROH Championship means a lot to me for those reasons.
Adam Cole
When you look back at the former Ring of Honor world champions, whether it be Daniel Bryan, CM Punk, Samoa Joe, Nigel McGuiness, the list goes on and on. These are the guys that built the lineage and importance of the Ring of Honor world championship.
The first time I won the Ring of Honor World Championship, I was a kid - I was 23 years old.
The list of guys who have held the ROH championship, that's an elite group of guys.
To win a major championship - I think, at the end of the day, that's what a golfer's career is based upon.
Adam Derek Scott
Dad used to reminisce about the good old days when Everton won the old first division championship and the FA Cup back in the 1970s and 80s but they weren't quite so good when I started supporting them.
Adam Lallana
Olympic champions should be 100 per cent athletes who have made the sacrifices.
Adam Peaty
In a day and age when there are so many culinary competitions - ranging from contests of taste to those of technique - The World Food Championships will be the ultimate food competition.
We know how hard it is to get to the playoffs in general, and then to get to the NFC Championship Game. You just never know if you'll have the opportunity again, so you really want to make the most of it.
Money is good and everything, but championships are what it's about.
On teams that have won championships and got to the big game, there's a certain vibe and feel in that locker room. Everyone talks about how there's a brotherhood in that locker room, there's not a lot of dissent, there's not guys that go off on their own. It's a team atmosphere.
Sure, there's pressure when you have one dart at double top when there's a world 'championship to be won, but real 'pressure is what our troops are doing in 'Afghanistan.
I was very proud after winning the World Championship the first time, so to win it three times, and consecutively, would be great.
I think that winning a third World Championship would really take me up to another level in the sport.
The worst I encountered was Peter Manley talking behind me as I threw during our world championship quarter-final back in 2006.
One World Championship is not enough. Probably eight is not enough. I've set a target of 10 and I'd like between eight and 10.
At the end of the day, great champions can take a good loss and great champions can take a good win, just like they take a loss.

In Cuba we use our champions to promote the sport.
You want to play in finals, and they don't come much bigger than the Champions League final.
That's the great thing about the NFL: A team can get hot and win a championship.
When I returned to the Touring Car championship, I got the team to create a special brake pedal that I could use with my prosthetic leg.
Blake & Murphy didn't seem to appreciate who I was and what I was doing for them. After losing the NXT Tag Team Championship, they went on a long losing streak. They needed me yet just used me as an accessory.
Blake & Murphy were winners, I was a winner, and winners usually gravitate toward each other. They helped me, so I helped them in any way I could. I knew they were able to retain their NXT Tag Team Championship on their own, but when the matches weren't going the way they wanted, I made sure to step in. We were an unstoppable group.
I want to be one of the longest reigning champions, and for our women as a whole, even if I'm not in the match, I want us to have a Main Event at WrestleMania.
If somebody ask me to do something for my country, I will. If there's a world championship, I go.
I like to stay active. I'm one of the champions chasing the contenders.
To make my entire career at Lyon doesn't bother me as long as they continue to have the development and ambition to have a competitive team, even if we're not certain to win the Champions League.
I remember my first time in the Champions League. I was 18, and it was Arsenal against Milan at The Emirates. The night before, I remember I put my music on my iPod. I was lying in bed, and I listened to the Champions League music. That was my Champions League debut, my first time. It was beautiful.
I want to write a new story in Europe, to make a new history. I want to come to win the championship and play again in the Champions League.
I think that if a player wants to be at the very top, he needs to win the Champions League and league titles. That's what makes the great players truly great.
I'm a professional, so any match against Barcelona in the Champions League is special to me.
I want to win the Premier League and the Champions League.
It wasn't easy to leave Barcelona. I fulfilled a dream when I moved there - to play in Spain and for the champions - but very few players stay in the same club all their life. To leave is normal.
My idea is to play and win the Champions League. It is a dream I have had since I was little.
