:GRE Theodoros Iakovidis (weightlifting) announced his retirement after finishing 11th in Tokyo. This was his second Olympics after also being in Rio.

 

However this might not be the end of his career. He was crying in an interview about not having money/support which went viral in Greece and now he is suddenly famous with 200k+ followers on Instagram, more than double Ntouskos and Tentoglou (who both won gold medals for us this year) combined. So maybe now he will get more support and be able to continue his career?

Yeah, he got a lot of attention and sponsors now so he will continue his career until 2024 now

Sweden :SWE

 

”King Henrik” Henrik Lundqvist retires. 
 

He is one of Sweden’s biggest ice hockey stars ever. He is most famous for the fantastic Olympic Gold Medal Game 2006 against Finland which Sweden won. 

 

Thank you for all memories you have given us. You will be truly missed.
