Swimming star David Davies, who comes from Wales, has announced that he plans to retire after the 2012 Olympics is over.
David Davies will only be aged 27 when the Olympic Games arrives in London in five years' time, but he nevertheless feels that would be the perfect time to end his career.
David Davies is reported to have explained: "To bow out in a home Olympics, something we might not see again for years to come, would be an ideal opportunity."
David Davies is an Olympic bronze and Commonwealth gold medallist and he is currently one of the UK's biggest hopes for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.
And David Davies is among the favourites for the 1500m freestyle gold next summer, but he is nevertheless hoping that London 2012 will be the peak of his swimming career, and he added: : "I wanted to bow out either at the very top - when I've produced my ultimate performance and I know I'm not going to do better - or at a home Olympics like London 2012, where the setting is going to be fantastic and the environment amazing."
