Team GB Olympic gymnast Max Whitlock has revealed why he is to retire from the sport after Paris 2024.

The three-time Olympic gold medalist said going for his final Olympic games “feels strange”.

In an interview with the BBC on Wednesday (10 April), Whitlock said: “I never dreamed of being an Olympian when I was young, I just followed the process and worked hard.”

The 31-year-old said he is continuing to “work hard” and “push barriers” ahead of Paris 2024 as he pledged “to give it all I have got.”
