:GER decathlete Michael Schrader has retired. He won silver at the World Championships 2013 in Moscow. In an accident in Pole Vault 2016 he was severely injured and didn't compete since. And after another harmstring injury while trying for a comeback he retired for good.

Well, it's been brewing for a long time. This time our very own Rūta Meilutytė :LTU has announced her retirement.

 

It's been years of battling depression due to the pressure of the Lithuanian public as well as years of not being able to swim as fast as when she was 15.

Sport and life nowadays...when someone has to retire at 22 because pressure was too big.

Ladislav Nagy. The (until yesterday) last active Slovak Ice Hockey World Champion from 2002 officially and definitively retired yesterday after his last careers match, his 122nd National Team cap.

 

Just for the story, Košice born player and the city hockey legend, played his slast match as captain of his National Team in his home city arena in front of home crowd in his birth place. And yes, he scored the winning goal of the match.

 

That´s what I call retire in style.

 

here the 2 and half minute video after the yesterdays match. definitely worth to watch. Thank you Laci for everything ! Thank you champion !

It's fine. She has nothing to prove, she already earned the biggest honor a swimmer can achieve. Better to move on, stop suffering and think in other stuff as she is still too young for life. Those who criticize now will be making her homages in 10 years.

Didn't she failed a doping test last week or something?

Yes, she didn't show up, but there were speculations that she did it on purpose, to give herself an out of the sport, but then she decided to end her career all-together.

    • When it comes to power, confidence and match-winning ability, women's cricket has produced some truly fearless batsmen over the years. These players didn't just score runs - they changed games, calmed crowds and intimidated bowlers. Based on influence, consistency and ability to dominate attacks, here is my 2026 Forum list of the top 7 most dangerous women batsmen in cricket history.   At the top, Meg Lanning stands out for her quiet aggression and leadership. She could control an innings and then suddenly explode. Behind her is Harmanpreet Kaur, known for her raw power and clutch performances, especially in big tournaments.   Ellyse Perry deserves a special mention. Her technique, fitness and ability to increase pace make her lethal in all formats. Smriti Mandhana brings purpose with grandeur - once she gets going, bowlers struggle to find answers.   From a bygone era, Mithali Raj may not have looked aggressive, but her mental strength and ability to bat for long periods make her extremely dangerous. Suzy Bats has become a nightmare for bowlers in ODIs and T20s, as she mixes timing and smart shot selection. The list also includes Deandra Dottin, whose power-hitting can change a match in just a few overs.   What connects all these stars is their fearless mentality. Each has earned the tag of Dangerous Women's Batsman by performing consistently under pressure and against the best bowlers in the world. For fans who love in-depth cricket discussions, statistics and trending topics, Cricbites is becoming a popular platform to explore women's cricket in a fresh and engaging way.
    • Someone made this Statue Trump---Epstein     mysterious bronze statue called “Best Friends Forever” has popped up on the east end of the National Mall in Washington, DC,    https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/us/politics/trump-epstein-statue-dc-national-mall.html    
    • Off to Milan for the 145th session of the International Olympic Committee. Although the agenda has not been published yet, there shouldn’t be any major items over these two days, apart from the election of a member of the IOC Executive Board. This will be the eighth time the session is held in Italy, the last one being during the Turin 2006 Olympic Games.

    • What is happening in Canada , people leave it  They say life is very expensive , you cant find an appartement , the salary is miserable    is it the multi tax of Trump? 
    • Weightlifting We now have six events per gender with a total of 10 athletes per event.   The Olympic Qualification Rankings will be based on the sum of the total results of five events (three from period 1 and two from period 2). The top 8 will qualify.   The 9th spot will also be based on the OQR, but it will go to the highest ranked athlete from an unrepresented continent.   The 10th spot will be split between the host and universality (3 each per gender). Should the United States qualify normally then their host quota will be reduced, first going to an athlete from an unrepresented continent then to the overall highest ranked athlete.   Additionally, a "Best Lifter" will be awarded which would give the nation the chance to qualify 4 athletes rather than the max of 3.
    • The probability of winning a medal in the men's 500m also seems a bit off   
    • 66% chance for a medal in moguls seems low though...   Men's relay being 5th in short track, and Clarke only having a 0.5% chance at a medal also seem off   Why is ski mountaineering there, we didn't even qualify anyone
