Rio Olympic Games: Two-time world champion sprinter Dafne Schippers from the Netherlands announced her retirement at the age of 31 after having struggled with injuries in recent years.
"The race stops here," she posted on Instagram. "As an athlete, you always know this day will come, that at one point, your career will be a moment in time, a collection of memories and hopefully medals."
The highlight of Schippers' career was at the 2015 World Championships in Beijing when she captured the 200m gold and silver in the 100m. Two years later in London, she defended her title in the 200m and finished third in the 100m. In between she grabbed silver in the 200m at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, reports Xinhua.
