Gymnastics star Whitlock eyes fairytale Olympic farewell
PARIS: Max Whitlock plans to bid farewell to the Olympics in a blaze of glory as Britain’s most successful athlete prepares for his final Games in Paris. Whitlock, a three-time Olympic gold medallist, arrives in the French capital on an emotional final tour of Olympic duty following his decision to retire after the Olympics. The 31-year-old won two gold medals at the 2016 Rio Olympics and successfully defended his equestrian title in Tokyo three years ago. Having started his Olympic journey with two bronze medals at the 2012 London Games, Whitlock is relishing the chance to bow out in style.
