Three-time Olympic gold medallist Max Whitlock will retire after the Paris 2024 Games.He will become the first gymnast to win four Olympic medals on the same apparatus if he adds to his two golds and a bronze on the pommel horse this summer."Going for my final Olympic Games, it feels very, very strange talking about it and it's almost hard to articulate what it's like.
"Ever since Rio where I was at my peak age, I think I've had questions thrown at me about when am I retiring," Whitlock said. Whitlock, who is from Hertfordshire, says his motivation for Paris 2024 comes from wanting his five-year-old daughter Willow to watch him compete at an Olympics.
