Jason Kenny retires

Great Britain’s most successful olympian of all time- Jason Kenny has announced his retirement. He is one of the greatest cyclists of all time. He has acquired a new role as coach with British Cycling. In a span of thirteen years, he has won seven gold medals and two silver medals. The Cycling Legend won the team sprint gold medal in Beijing 2008, London 2012, and Rio 2016. In the Individual sprint, he won the gold medals in 2012 and 2016. In 2016 and 2020 he won Keirin. The 33-year-old after announcing retirement, in a statement, said: "A massive part of me would love to continue and try to get to Paris and I'm a little bit sad in a way to not do that. The opportunity at British Cycling to be a coach might not be there in three years. I thought I'd take it now. That keirin in Tokyo was special to me. It was an amazing race. If you could pick one to end on, that would always be. That did play a small part in it. That will be my last ever race, to finish on something so special on the last day of the Olympics."
