Swimming ace Thorpe quits racing

Australia's greatest Olympian Ian Thorpe has announced his retirement from competitive swimming.

The five-time Olympic gold medallist, and multiple world record holder, has told a press conference in Sydney he is quitting the pool at the age of 24.

He  told today of the dizzying heights and setbacks that marked his career as he announced that he is stopping his professional swimming career.
He said swimming was no longer at the top of his priority list, saying there were things that were important in his life.

Thorpe said he made the decision on Sunday shortly after deciding he would not compete at next year's world championships in Melbourne.

"As of 2.53 on Sunday afternoon I decided I would not be swimming the world championships,'' Thorpe said.

"I also made a very difficult decision that day that I am actually going to discontine my professional swimming career.


"I'd been working towards this decision for quite some time. I'm a 24-year-old, and I'm only just 24 as well.

"I'm young enough to still see the new challenges and be able to accept them within my life.

"I'm also old enough now that I realise all of these accomplishments that have got me to this place in my life.

"I also know there is a lot of people out there that want me to keep swimming.

"I only hoped that I wanted to swim half as much as other people want me to.''

Thorpe is regarded as one of the greatest swimmers of all time after winning 11 world titles, five Olympic gold medals and setting  13 individual long-course world records.

Worn down by the grind of training, he took a year off after winning the 200 metres and 400m freestyle titles at the 2004 Athens Olympics and his comeback plans were thwarted by illness, injury and waning motivation.

He had a three-month sojourn in Los Angeles this year in a bid to revitalise his swimming.

Thorpe said he had felt in peak physically fitness during his time in LA, but also began to question his future in the sport.

"One other thing happened in LA, as I got physically fit, my mind also got fit, I started asking a lot of questions.

"And I started to look at myself as a person. That begged another question: What would my life be without swimming?

"It's been a security net for me. But what it's meant is I haven't balanced out my life the way I should.

"So I realised I had to prove other things and let swimming take a back seat at this stage.

"I'm looking at a next phase, and that next phase means I am realigning the most important thing for me to do.

"Swimming falls somewhere short, which is never the way it used to be.''

On the possibility of a comeback in the future, Thorpe said: "I won't rule it out, I never rule anything out, but it's not going to happen.''

He did not want to reveal his future plans.

Of his decision, Thorpe said: "It's emotional because I see my entire swimming career flash before my eyes.

"I've had a great career. It isn't the best time to be walking away from the sport but it's my time.''

Five-time Olympic swimming champion Ian Thorpe plans to host and co-produce a two-hour TV special with the Foxtel network, it was reported today.

Thorpe announced on Tuesday that he was retiring from swimming at the age of 24 after nearly a decade at the top of the sport.

He now is in negotiations with Foxtel to produce the TV special, which will probably look at how young Australians can shape their country, according to newspaper reports.

The retired swimmer is also likely to take part in a 13-part Foxtel series in which he will travel the world uncovering hot new trends.

"It's great to slow down a bit. You have the opportunity to appreciate the things you have," Thorpe said.

而今天确认了这个消息后,电讯的报道说:“自私的索普终于选择了在今天告诉世界他选择了退役。”电讯报说,当索普今天面对媒体宣布这个决定的时候,他是很轻松而且很兴奋的。

  电讯报报道了索普如何做出这个决定的。“我仅仅24岁,我这个年龄我可以面对很多的挑战。而我觉得我还有很多东西需要尝试。当我在洛杉矶好好调整的三个月的时间里面,我的身体恢复了,心智也恢复了。我开始问自己很多的问题。我是不是要继续?游泳是一个安全网,让我找到自己。但是他也让我无法去平衡生活中的其他东西。我开始认识到,游泳对我来说足够了。我需要在其他的领域上证明自己。”

  索普自己说:“我知道这个决定有点感情化,但是只有我自己才看到我的整个游泳生涯。这不是最好的时候选择退役,但是我还是这么决定了。在星期天下午的2:53分,我考虑清楚了。我决定退役,我想开始生活新的一页。”对于索普的未来,没有人清楚,他有自己的商业,饮食业,时尚业,同时他还是阿迪达斯的代言人,这个合约签到了2012年。

  而澳洲的新闻权威澳洲新闻网则对索普的离开充分理解。“澳大利亚体育历史上最成功的奥林匹克选手伊恩索普在他24岁的时候就选择了退役。”报道说,索普在今天的新闻发布会上说,有一个人这些年一直默默的帮助他进行灵魂的拯救,但是他并没有透露这个神秘人物的名字。他说:“我知道很多人都希望我继续,我自己也曾经这么想过。但是当我为了满足其他人的梦想的时候,我发现那是对我内心的不忠诚,也是对你们的不忠诚。”“但我一圈一圈在泳池奋斗的时候,我开始审视我自己,我不仅仅是个游泳运动员,更是一个‘人’。我为了游泳付出了很多,我需要打开我的另外一片天。”“我感谢这个国家的所有支持我的人们,而我知道我曾经激励过很多人,就像你们曾经激励过我一样。”“我不会对我今天的决定后悔,我考虑的很清楚了。”而索普的父母则告诉泳迷,索普离开的原因是因为“他得到了他所需要的一切。”

  短池:100米自由泳49.05秒,200米自由泳1:41.10(世界纪录),400米自由泳3:35.64

  索普的成长历程

  索普认为在他的游泳生涯中是他的家庭给了他重要的影响,如果没有家人的支持将不会有他现在的成功。

  索普8岁的时候在Jenny McAdam的指导下开始学游泳,他说:“当我看见我的姐姐在游泳池比赛的时候,我感到很不舒服,所以我决定开始学游泳。”索普认为他的成功与教练Doug Frost的指导分不开。

  在98世界锦标赛上,年仅15岁的索普在家乡同胞的助威声中,夺的400米自由泳金牌,从而一举成名。索普把澳大利亚游泳名将Kieren Perkins、美国奥运会传奇人物卡尔-刘易斯和篮球飞人迈克尔-乔丹作为自己崇拜的偶像。

  当15岁的索普在世界游泳锦标赛上夺得400米自由泳冠军,成为历史上最年轻的游泳世界冠军时,这位澳大利亚游泳界的“非凡男孩”已经显示了无限的潜能。在获得了98世界游泳锦标赛400米自由泳金牌后,第二天又与队友合作,夺得了4x200米接力的金牌。但索普的在世界杯的比赛中并没有体现出在世锦赛上的良好状态,只获得了400米自由泳的第二和200米自由泳的第四,在今年四月墨尔本举行的澳大利亚游泳锦标赛上,索普获得了200米和400米自由泳的冠军。

  虽然依恩索普获世界游泳锦标赛冠军时仅15岁,但这却并不令他澳大利亚游泳协会的兄弟们感到丝毫的的惊讶,因为正是他们在看着他的世界排名一天天地飞升。他随Grant Hackett回到祖国参加了在布鲁斯班举行的世界锦标赛选拔赛。赛上他得了第二名,从而获得了参加锦标赛的机会,而且很快就在珀斯锦标赛上改写了上回比赛的结果。这位出色的年轻人是继John Konrads后通过选拔赛入选澳大利亚国家游泳队的最年轻男运动员,而John Konrads则是那位14岁便代表澳大利亚参加1956福冈泛太平洋锦标赛的传奇运动员。索普并没有在这个奖牌上停止不前,之后不久他便又获得了一枚自由泳400米银牌,并和队友合作夺得了自由泳4x 200米的第二名。

  后来索普还在Qantas Skins运动会的2 x 200米的自由泳接力赛上打败了自己的偶像Kieren Perkins获得该项比赛的金牌及3,500美元的奖金。索普目前是世界上游得最快的年轻选手,比在福冈泛太平洋锦标赛上仅赢得400米自由泳银牌的John Konrads更有潜力。索普改写了世界游泳史上的多项纪录,尤其是200米和400米自由泳项目的纪录。历史上最年轻的游泳世界冠军加上1998年澳大利亚锦标赛以及联邦运动会预选赛200米、400米自由泳冠军使他成为世界游泳界的一个奇迹。在联邦运动会上他还以1:47.24的成绩打破了该运动会200米自由泳由Duncan Armstrong在汉城奥运会上所创并保持了10年的纪录,也是当是的世界纪录。这是游泳史上第五个最快的纪录,也是五年来最快的纪录。
