This little gem is often uttered by the participant in a contest who wishes to... state the obvious, I guess.
You came here to win? As opposed to your opponents who came here to what? Intentionally lose? The implication seems to be that I came here to win, which is the unusual thing about me that qualifies me as most deserving of the prize.
The truth is, "I came here to win" is a totally empty phrase, uttered in the interview of a contestant who literally has nothing whatsoever to say about the contest.
