Britain’s most decorated Winter Olympian Lizzie Yarnold has retired.
The skeleton athlete became the first British athlete to retain a Winter Games title when she won gold at Pyeongchang 2018.
Yarnold, 29, is a former world and European champion and two-time World Cup winner. The victories have been hard fought – she has suffered from a knee condition during her career, as well as vestibular disorder, a condition that affects the inner ear and brain, and leads to spells of dizziness.
She spoke to BBC Sport: "It has been an amazing 10 years of my life, and I have been lucky enough to learn from amazing coaches and be part of this team.
"It was never just me by myself. So I can take this opportunity to thank everyone for helping me achieve my dreams.
"When I came into the sport I wanted to go to the Olympics and now I have achieved everything I could have dreamed of and more."
