Yeah, I thought so, the way her male and female teammates were all standing at the finish waiting for her....that very much looked like a retirement :(

England & GBR field hockey goalkeeper Maddie Hinch.  Almost single-handedly kept GBR competitive in the Gold Medal game against Netherlands in Rio 16, then did a hero’s job to help win the 3-3 shootout.

:POL Joanna Jóźwik (athletics, 800m mainly) retired. Her biggest success at Olympics was fifth place during final in Rio, but she was second among womens, only :CAN Bishop was better then, not counting those athletes with too high testosterone

    • I remember when Ferrari dominated inFormula 1 in the early 21st century, the rules were deliberately changed to limit their advantage. Something similar recently happened with Mercedes' dominance after 2020. And here we have a situation where Norway is favored, if the Finns are telling the truth and that's strange – should the richest federation get some extra advantage from FIS? It's certainly better for the popularity of a given discipline to have a more diverse nations on the front, than to have 3 Norwegians skiers at the front with the rest of the world 2 minutes behind. But maybe that will change, because Norway isn't as dominant in the women's competitions without Bjoergen and Johaug. I think the situation will change somewhat after Klaebo's career, even without Rus's return. Without Klaebo, Norway would not have won the entire gold medal here: in the sprint it would have been Ogden from the USA, and in the combined race: Frenchman Desloges.   Of course, the stars like Klaebo and Phelps build the popularity of a their disciplines, but it always takes some kind of great rivalry- a great rival- for people to really take an interest that. For example, in Beijing, Phelps won 8 gold medals, but in the 100 butterfly, there was fierce competition and controversy with battle against Milorad Cavic. In Klaebo's case, this hasn't been that`s case since Bolshunov's exclusion and that certainly has some impact on the overall situation.
