 Dara Alizadeh has announced his retirement from rowing after reflecting on his “incredible experience” at the Olympic Games in Paris.
Alizadeh, posted on social media, “It’s been a couple weeks since my final at the Big Dance, but I’ve only begun now to reflect on a most incredible experience.
While some things might not have fallen my way, I gave everything in full, and I can live with that.
I couldn’t think of a better stage to finally hang up my oars and walk away from rowing. I’ve had enough.
“Sixteen years have gone by quickly, but I certainly got out way more than I bargained for when I first showed up at the Belmont Hill boathouse many moons ago.
“I had the best time, and loved every minute of the ride.”
