Here's a thread to post any of your favorite comments, quotes, or stories about Logan.
"Crossing Over: Olympic Contenders’ Other Sports" - Logan talking about softball 
"They literally had to shove me to get in front of the base. I said, ‘This is line-drive area, dude.' So I went up there and this big ole girl nailed one - I didn't even react. I felt the ball fly right by my freakin' eye and said, ‘I'm outta here.' I like baseball where you stand behind the base." |

cool topic! will sticky it. and um chris, i dont think we're limited to just one quote  im gonna have to go re-read some news stories haha
ok here's one that made me laugh
In the eighth grade, Tom met Siddoway, who would become as important of a figure to get her on the court as her mother is off it. The young coach spearheads the boys and girls Klub Boom 16-under teams and also assists at Skyline High. He remembers the first encounter with his protégé like it was yesterday.
"She was big and tall but she looked like a little girl. Logan walked into the gym with a pony tail, matching shirt and shorts and I thought, 'Oh no, this is going to be interesting. Who is this girly-girl?"
edit: from "Logan Tom decade of dominance" |

I like this one:
"I would wipe out bodysurfing all the time," she later recalled. "I'd catch a big wave and just get slammed. I was in a bikini once, and you know how sand gets stuck in your swimsuit? I stood up and my bottoms stayed on the ground and my top was around my neck! I was so embarrassed! I was like, I'm taking tips!"

a question that probably all of her fans ask at one time or another
"People always wonder why I don't smile on the court," Tom said. "It's not that I'm not a happy person, I'm just very competitive and focused, and that's the way it expresses itself on the court. I really love playing volleyball and playing with my teammates. I mean why would I play it if I didn't?"

I like this description of her as a player:
"She just immediately fit in," said U.S. assistant coach Tom Hogan, who stumbled a bit when asked what Tom does best. "Oh gosh, everything. That's really why she's so good. She's not the best in the world at any one skill, she's just very good at everything."

There's an AVP video where Priscilla Lima asks other AVP players to say Logan's full name really fast... Logan Maile Lei Tom, Logan Maile Lei Tom, Logan Maile Lei Tom...
Everyone messes up, and then Casey Jennings (Kerri Walsh's husband) tries it and says it sounds like "Logan might get laid Tom"!
bwahahahahaha |
