IAN THORPE RETIRED PART 2

Oh well, I am coming terms with Ian Thorpe's retirement. It has affected my mugging, which is expected, but it's better now.

Thanks to all my friends who tried to console me!! Yes, u may think it's funny that I need consoling for something like that. But if u think that way, u dont know how much I love this guy. So yeah, don't tell me it's stupid that I am so upset over this.

I just realised that it's not a gd year for the sporting world. Zinedine Zidane, Andre Agassi and Michael Schmacher all retired this year, with Ian Thorpe joining the list...

I can't imagine 2008 Olympics 400m freestyle race... Ian Thorpe had never lost that race in 7 years (I think it's roughly there). And he is still the current world record holder for 200m and 400m freestyle.

It's going to be strange to watch that.

Anyway, I found the videos of him telling the world that he is retiring. Enjoy...
