Olympian Stanning retires

BRITAIN’S double Olympic champion Heather Stanning has retired from rowing, she said late on Tuesday.

Stanning, 31, took gold in the women’s pair alongside her close friend Helen Glover at London 2012 and they repeated the feat in Rio de Janeiro earlier this year. She will continue to serve in the British Army. “It’s hard to identify a key highlight,” Stanning said in a statement. “Obviously winning back-to-back Olympic golds is up there, but also our first world championship gold (in 2014) was a big highlight.” Glover is expected to continue her career.
