GB Paralympian Rhiannon Henry announces retirement after 14-year career

British Paralympian Rhiannon Henry announces her retirement from sport following a 14-year career.

British Paralympian Rhiannon Henry has announced her retirement from sport following stints in swimming, cycling and triathlon.

The 28-year-old won two bronze medals at the Olympic Games in Athens 11 years ago, and was also crowned world champion in 2010.

After London 2012, Henry teamed up with the British Cycling Paralympic Academy and eventually switched to triathlon earlier this year.

"I am incredibly proud to have achieved so much throughout my career and I will always treasure the experiences I have had," Henry told Wales Online.

"Retiring is never an easy decision for any athlete and I am extremely grateful for all the support I have received in my transition from both Disability Sport Wales and UK Sport."

Henry has confirmed that she will now work as an athlete mentor with Sports for Schools and the Dame Kelly Holmes Trust.
