kekita Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Australia's greatest-ever swimmer Ian Thorpe has quit, announcing in a press conference his intention to withdraw from professional competition. In a prepared statement to the packed conference, Thorpe said his battle with sickness and the revelation that there was more to life than swimming had led to his decision. http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=164058 damn now how will austrlia win medals he he jus kidding but its like Roger Federer saying ok im throwing in the towl!!
