the news is about a month old, but since the Track Cycling Worlds are starting today and nobody already reported it, :AUS Cameron Meyer will call it a career at the end of the year.

:GRE Nicholas Scarvelis (shot put)

 

He is only 29 years old and has the Greek NR of 21.05 from 2020. He competed for Greece at the 2016 Olympics. His most recent competition was the 2022 World Athletics Championships, so I did not expect him to stop until at least Paris 2024...

:GRE Konstantinos Filippidis (pole vault)

 

He is 35 years old and didn't compete at all in 2022 so it's not surprising. He competed at London 2012, Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020, finishing 6th in London and 7th in Rio. He has the Greek NR of 5.91m from 2015.

 

His biggest achievements were the gold medal at the 2014 World Indoor Championships and silver at the 2017 European Indoor Championships.

:ITA Maria Centracchio, Olympic Bronze medallist in Tokyo last year (Judo, W -63kg), has fibromyalgia, which means that her career is over earlier than expected. :cry:

Not exactly retirement, but former :CZE hurdler, now silver medalist from London 2012 and double world champion Zuzana Hejnová gave a birth to a boy named Matyáš. Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉

 

She could not prepare well for Tokyo Olympics, she withdrew despite having the limit and later got pregnant and announced retirement. Not expacted to come back to competing. Wish her all the best 💪💪💪
