Max Whitlock: 鈥楾ime is right to retire鈥�
Three-time Olympic gold medallist Max Whitlock says he will retire from gymnastics after the Paris 2024 Games.
The 31-year-old, who was born in Hemel Hempstead and trains at the South Essex Gymnastic Club in Basildon, is Britain鈥檚 most successful gymnast 鈥� having claimed six Olympic medals in total.
He hopes to compete for a fourth medal in the pommel horse later this year, having claimed two golds and a bronze on the apparatus at the previous three Olympics.
But he says the time is right to bring his career to end after that.
