British gymnast Beth Tweddle talks of retiring
British top gymnast Beth Tweddle thinks she is likely to retire from the sport after the 2009 World Championships in London.
"We've got the Olympics in 2008 and the World Championships in London in 2009," said Beth Tweddle, 21, from Cheshire.
"If I go to 2008 and I am still happy, then to compete at home the following year would be a great place to retire," Beth Tweddle added.
Beth Tweddle made a recovery from missing the Commonwealth Games in March due to an ankle injury to go on to win European gold on the uneven bars and she repeated the achievement in the Worlds to become the first British gymnast to win gold at the event.
"The only other thing that would be equal to this year would be an Olympic gold - or some sort of Olympic medal in 2008," Beth Tweddle said.
