Former European champion Sharp retires

Former 800m European champion Lynsey Sharp has retired from athletics, saying she has “given it everything I’m willing to give; mentally, physically and financially”.

Sharp, 33, made a comeback in January from injury and childbirth after more than three years away from the track.

The Scot has now called time on her career after months of deliberation.

She said juggling athletics with motherhood is not “something you can do half-hearted”. BBC
