This sounds like he kind of messed up. Maybe he didn't, but that's such a super vague post hinting at it with things like "punish athletes for petty crimes"....

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

22-time Grand Slam Champion, and one of the greatest tennis players of all time, Rafa Nadal :ESP announced his retirement, with 2024 being his final season on tour :cry: 

 

He also pulled out of Roland Garros earlier this week for the first time in his career (His first appearance was 2005) with a lingering hip injury that was suffered at the 2023 Australian Open.  
 

“You can´t keep demanding more and more from your body, because there comes a moment when your body raises a white flag," said Nadal, as his session with the media was carried live in Spain by the state broadcaster's 24-hour sports network. "Even though your head wants to keep going, your body says this is as far it goes."

 

He hasn’t ruled out a possible return to tour “You never know how things will turn out”, but his intention is “that next year will be my last year”

 

Really hoping he can win men’s singles gold at the 2024 Olympics, ending his illustrious career off on a high note, and with the Olympic tennis venue being Roland Garros, he’d most likely be a contender (If not favourite) for gold (Even when injured, I wouldn’t count him out. That’s how good he is). Maybe we’ll see him play mixed doubles with Carlos as well? :wub:
