Wrestling legend Dan Gable shared the stage with other legends from other sports in the "Titan Games Night of Champions." The U.S. Olympic Committee honored nine sports greats as a celebration to kick off the 2003 Titan Games in San Jose, Calif.    On large video screens around the arena, a clip showing photographic images of Gable as an athlete and coach was displayed for the audience. He received his special award, given to each of the nine "Titans" honored, then gave the crowd a bit of the wisdom that has captivated wrestling audiences for years.    "Olympic memories keep coming," said Gable. "The 1972 Olympics changed the Olympics forever, just like 9/11 has changed our  world today. " He noted the wrestlers who were killed by terrorists in the Olympic Village during the Munich Olympics,    Gable told the story about how he and some of his teammates ditched a visit to the White House to meet the President. "Some of us were immune to the outside world," he said. "Several of the wrestlers needed another workout and skipped the White House. It paid off for many of us."    He went on to explain how he is still looking ahead as part of the Olympic movement.    "I coached the 1984 Olympic Team to seven gold medals and two silver medals; those were great memories," said Gable. "I still get upset for not going to the 1980 Olympics. I was the coach of that team and we were prepared to win many medals."    "I look forward to Athens, China, and also the possibility of New York 2012," said Gable. "America needs the spirit of the Olympic movement."    Gable was the next to last athlete introduced, followed only by professional boxing champion Evander Holyfield. Gable noted that he enjoyed sitting next to Holyfield during the special ceremonies.    The others honored this evening were: Peter Westbrook (fencing), Tommy Kono (weightlifting), Mike Swain (judo), Lynette Love (tae kwon do), Ed Burke (hammer throwing), Steven Lopez (tae kwon do) and Tara Nott (weightlifting).    After the sports heroes were recognized, USOC CEO Lloyd Ward addressed the crowd and praised the champion athletes for their contributions to the Olympic movement.    "It's all about the athletes,"said Ward. "That's what the Olympic experience is about."    Ward then officially opened the first Titan Games.    "This is the first of a new set of competitive events where we will invite the world to tell the story of the Olympic journey," said Ward.    The multi-sport Titan Games began with USA vs. Mexico duals in three sports: judo, boxing and karate. Wrestling makes its debut in the Titan Games on Friday evening, when Team USA battles Cuba.
