:POL Konrad Niedźwiedzki (speed skating) retired as well :(

Yep, he said he wanted to experience the world champs in a full Olympic stadium first and then retire. Sort of a cult hero :d 

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!

Julia Ransom for Team Canada is also retiring from Biathlon.

Also, Eurosport commentator mentioned that Tim Burke and Lowell Bailey are retiring as well.

That was entirely expected, as he already was planning to retire after 2015/16, but came back for one more Olympics (and then won that incredible world title in Hochfilzen).

He said lately that don't have more motivations for hard trainings as he don't see anymore chances for good results considering his age and can't be to his highest level after accident in summer :/

 

Also after last biathlon world cup stage in Tyumen Weronika Nowakowska will retire, but I mentioned about this already many times :d

I've heard that Gwizdon and Palka (Guzik, habits die hard) might retire as well or are these just rumours?

Highly probably both of them will retire after this season as well, but atm there is no official confirmations, seems both will decide when season will be over, however for Guzik season is already over as she is sick..

Diego Occhiuzzi (ITA, Fencing, Sabre) announced he's going to retire at the end of this season...:evil:

his most remarkable success was surely the Olympic Individual Silver medal he won in London 2012 (he also won the Bronze medal in the Team event in both Beijing 2008 and London 2012)...

among others, he also won 3 Gold, 1 Silver and 2 Bronze medals between World and European Championships, always with the Italian team...
