路透新闻部 2 分钟阅读 Feb 19 (Reuters) - Croatia’s double high jump world champion and Olympic medallist Blanka Vlasic announced her retirement on Friday after a prolonged battle with injuries. Vlasic made her Olympic debut as a 16-year-old in 2000. She underwent surgery on a thyroid condition five years later but bounced back to claim the silver medal in Beijing in 2008 and bronze in Rio in 2016. Vlasic, 37, said the decision to retire had “come naturally” after she had spent the last few years trying to recover from a foot injury. “Although athletics is an individual sport, I always felt like part of a team because I didn’t jump just for myself. Running the victory lap with the Croatian flag has always been the greatest honour for me,” Vlasic said in a statement.
