Talbot retires
Danny Talbot, who picked up a gold medal during the 2007 London World Athletics Championships in the 4 x 100m relay has decided to hang up the spikes.
The 30-year-old also competed in the 2012 London and 2016 Rio Olympic Games.
I had the most enjoyable time throughout my career. I can’t be sad it’s over when I’m just so grateful it happened at all.
