Christine Ohuruogu: Former world and Olympic 400m champion retires at 34
- From the section Athletics
Great Britain's former Olympic and world 400m champion Christine Ohuruogu has retired at the age of 34.
Ohuruogu won 400m gold at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing a year after becoming world champion in Osaka.
She took silver at the London Olympics in 2012 before regaining her world title in Moscow in 2013.
"Today is the start of the British Championships and as I won't be competing I feel it is a good time to announce my retirement," she said.
Ohuruogu added: "I didn't feel ready to retire after last season but a combination of my studies and a niggling injury restricted how much training I was able to do this year."
