...from Eurosport:
"Defending champion Jonathan Edwards has withdrawn from the triple jump midway through the event. The 37-year-old Briton, who has won everything, including Olympic gold in Sydney, said before the championships that today's final would be his last competition before he retired."
I, for one, will really miss this guy. He was one of the classiest athletes in any sport. A true gentleman. This sport loses one of its greatest ambassadors.
And arguably the greatest triple jumper of all time.
