Wrestling at The Summer Olympics/all-time Medal Table - 1896-2012

Famous quotes containing the words wrestling, summer and/or table:

    There are people who think that wrestling is an ignoble sport. Wrestling is not sport, it is a spectacle, and it is no more ignoble to attend a wrestled performance of suffering than a performance of the sorrows of Arnolphe or Andromaque.
    Roland Barthes (1915–1980)

    Sweet Thames, run softly, till I end my song.
    The river bears no empty bottles, sandwich papers,
    Silk handkerchiefs, cardboard boxes, cigarette ends
    Or other testimony of summer nights. The nymphs are departed.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.
    Bible: New Testament, Luke 22:27.
