Athletics Base Camp 2022.2.27 The 27th day of the first month
Chinese put star, Tokyo Olympic champion Gong Lijiao's old rival, old buddy, Beijing World Championship women's shot put champion, Germany's "big sister" Schwanitz - announced his official retirement on February 26.
Schwanitz was born on 24 December 1985 with a personal best of 20.77 meters. Winning gold at the Beijing World Championships – the highlight of her career.
In recent years, although she has been training and competing, she has actually put a lot of energy into her career and family and baby.
On 26 February, she competed at the German Indoor Athletics Championships in Leipzig and won the bronze medal in women's shot put at 18.49 m. According to the selection rules, the top two can get the "ticket" to the Belgrade Indoor World Championships, so Schwanitz will not have the opportunity to go out, so he announced his retirement.
After the match, Schwanitz circled the field with the top two to greet the audience.
Today, Schwanitz is a member of the German army, responsible for the education and training of coaches and soldiers. Therefore, in the future, she will remain on the sports stage.
Retirement is the starting point of a new journey, bless Schwanitz!
