Long jumper quits over ankle

– Britain’s Greg Rutherford who won Olympic long jump gold on “Super Saturday” at the 2012 Olympics in London will retire at the end of the season he announced.

The 31-year-old – who won gold on the same night as fellow Britons Jessica Ennis-Hill and Mo Farah won gold in the heptathlon and the 10 000m respectively and followed three other British golds that day – told The Guardian a persistent pain in his ankle had forced his decision. – AFP
