Holmes to quit at end of season
21/04/2005 - 18:40:14Double Olympic champion Kelly Holmes announced today this will be her final competitive season.
Holmes is to race the 1500m in Cork on July 2 at the Cork City Sports.
The 35-year-old is set to quit after the World Championships in Helsinki this year although she may race in the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne next year.
She said: “This will be my last track season…the World Championships are obviously there on the agenda still and I will decide as I go through the season whether I am going to compete but it will depend on fitness levels and if everything goes to plan.
“If I do do the Commonwealth Games I won’t do any more races apart from the Commonwealths next year.
“If I decide to go, I will retire at the Commonwealth Games. If I don’t go there it will be before that.”
