GB and Scottish sprint star Jack Carlin announces retirement from track cycling
Olympic hero explains retirement aged just 28
- British track cyclist and four-time Olympic medallist Jack Carlin has announced his retirement at the age of 28.
- Carlin secured a silver and a bronze medal at both the Tokyo and Paris Olympics, contributing to his total of 19 international podium results over a decade-long senior career.
- He explained his decision stemmed from a lack of motivation to commit 100 per cent to training and competition, despite being physically fit.
- His four Olympic medals position him third on the all-time list of Scottish male Olympians, surpassed only by Sir Chris Hoy and Duncan Scott.
- Carlin expressed contentment with his achievements and hopes to inspire future generations, while also considering a potential return to the sport in a coaching capacity.
