From Brazil, Fabiana Murer (Athletics) have announced her retirement - she might compete in a final Diamond League stage. Most of the two-time Olympic champions of Women's Volleyball will not play for Brazil anymore (although some will continue playing in clubs for some time). One of the most important retirements is from the Women's Football team: Formiga, who played all 6 Olympics tournaments.

This is a different kind of retirement ;)

I know some of the people on this forum use http://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/

The bad news is that it will be closing down in the next few months.

The good news is that the data will be transferred to the IOC website where it will become the IOC Olympic Statistical Database.

Sad news is that Daniele Hypólito has said she will keep training in hopes to join the 2020 Olympic team, as if we haven't had enough of her falls and failed routines at the Olympics...

Any retiring gymnasts that you know about that I can add to the list?

I believe no one has explicitly announced retirement. Some possible announcements might come soon from Margarita Mamun (Russia), Fabian Hambuechen (Germany) and Vanessa Ferrari (Italy). I'll keep an eye out for news about Vasiliki Millousi (Greece) and Jessica López (Venezuela), both of whom might retire as well. Aly Raisman and Gabby Doulgas (US) will most likely take some time off. Has Ellie Black said anything about retirement? I hope she continues until 2017. She has a real chance at a world championships medal and I want her to win one!

 

Mustafina, Paseka, Barbosa and Daniele Hypólito said they will continue. Surprisingly, Chusovitina has said she will compete at the World Championships in Canada, in 2017. I really admire her.

Haven't heard anything about Ellie, I would be surprised if anyone on our team retires this year because of the 2017 world championships on home soil.

    • big big news regarding Olympic bronze medalist and two time World Champion  Zurabi Datunashvili   https://ita.sport/news/the-ita-acknowledges-cas-add-decision-sanctioning-wrestler-zurabi-datunashvili-for-anti-doping-rule-violations/   to be honest everything was suspicious about this guy, his sudden improvement since 2021, his body, his sudden retirement in 2023 . its great to see him finally getting caught.   they will reallocate the medals later after the end of the process but his Olympic bronze will go to  Ivan Huklek, I think that will be the first ever wrestling medal for Croatia   his 2021 World title will go  Maskevich and the 2022 gold goes to  Bisultanov Bisultanov will benefit more than anybody else, he also gets a bronze from 2021 and  Kessidis will get a bronze from 2022.
    • After the 1st day only Dominican Republic has not win a medal.     G 6 - S 2 - B 0 -T 8  G 1 - S 4 - B 2 - T 7  G 1 - S 0 - B 0 - T 1  G 0 - S 1 - B 2 - T 3 G 0 - S 1 - B 0 - T 1  G 0 - S 0 - B 1 - T 1  G 0 - S 0 - B 1 - T 1  G 0 - S 0 - B 1 - T 1  G 0 - S 0 - B 1 - T 1
    • I am going to use this as evidence for my belief that the only way for baseball to continue growing is to increase the importance of International tournaments.   Because shocassing stars in those environments is how the MLB can grow their viewership abroad.
    • If this were Milan from 20 years ago, it would be a success but currently it`s just a European average team and on top of that it is not in top form. Milan's defense this season resembles Swiss cheese.
    • Bologna is unfortunately is a team for the Conference League, not the Champions League   Juventus are plagued by injuries and are struggling. On top of that they have a terrible schedule in the CL. In their case qualifying for the play-offs would be a success in this season but I'm not sure how many points they will need to do that. Actually they chave 8 points.
    • Four events with medals awarded halfway into the first day, and already six NOCs are on the medal table 
    • First day of sporting action today. There's livestreams available on the official website: https://www.bolivarianos2024.pe/envivo/   PanamSports Channel should be broadcasting events as well.
    • Pretty crazy, just imagine if they won the World Baseball Classic (though personally I equate the two pretty closely).
    • WWE Survivor Series: WarGames 2024     Main Card:   United States Champion LA Knight vs. Shinsuke Nakamura Singles Match for the United States Championship     Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker vs. Sheamus vs. Ludwig Kaiser Triple Threat Match for the Intercontinental Championship     World Heavyweight Champion Gunther vs. Damian Priest Singles Match for the World Heavyweight Championship     Liv Morgan, Nia Jax, Tiffany Stratton, Raquel Rodriguez & Candice LeRae vs. Bianca Belair, Rhea Ripley, Bayley, Iyo Sky & Naomi Women's WarGames Match     Roman Reigns, CM Punk, Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso & Sami Zayn vs. Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, Bronson Reed, Tanga Loa & Tama Tonga Men's WarGames Match
