Maybe it'd be helpful to put a * next to the name of people who didn't announced their retirement yet, but only said it will be their last Olympics? Because one can say "I will quite after the 2018 world championships", which means it's the last Olympics, but really means nothing about retirement yet..

Also in team sports, there might be some who "retired" from their respective national teams but did not quit competitive sport. This is the case for example for the aforementioned Gabor Kis of Hungary in water polo (he will not play any more for the national team but continue playing for his club) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxim Fastovsky 124 Posted August 22, 2016 #646 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Kayla Harrison is going to UFC in the footsteps of Ronda Rousey, Maya Di Rado going to school even though her swimming career really just began. And why i have the feeling that Usain Bolt will pull a phelps and will come back for tokyo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some possible announcements might come soon from Margarita Mamun (Russia), Fabian Hambuechen (Germany) and Vanessa Ferrari (Italy). I'll keep an eye out for news about Vasiliki Millousi (Greece) and Jessica López (Venezuela), both of whom might retire as well. Aly Raisman and Gabby Doulgas (US) will most likely take some time off. Has Ellie Black said anything about retirement? I hope she continues until 2017. She has a real chance at a world championships medal and I want her to win one! Mustafina, Paseka, Barbosa and Daniele Hypólito said they will continue. Surprisingly, Chusovitina has said she will compete at the World Championships in Canada, in 2017. I really admire her. Well now we have a retirement, Ruby Harrold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douglas is out, she was already brought just as a bar specialist and a novelty story, dont see her trying to make it to tokyo. Raisman will probably stay quiet until the 2019 worlds, however i dont think also that she will come back, not with finally getting an individual all around medal.
