Great Britain's most successful Olympian has decided to retire, not much left for him to achieve in his chosen sport I guess.

But what I find odd about that piece is that although it mentions his knighthood more than once, he's consistently referred to as "Jason Kenny" rather than using his title. Ditto Laura.

So how many gold medals does your Mrs have?  ;)

I must see if I can sort out a 'like' button.

My own wife doesn't have a medal, but some would argue that she deserves one.

My wife keeps telling me that she deserves one.
I once made her a load of cardboard ones, so I could give her one - fnarr fnarr - whenever she said she deserved one...

Anyhoo, I think Mr Kenny has deserved to hang up the track bike and start a new career. Wonder if his missus will overtake him now?

None as such, although she and her sisters were world champions at something called the Mounted Games (its a horse thing)
