The world’s most athletic couple is retiring together.
Ashton Eaton and Brianne Theisen-Eaton announced the ends of their track and field careers Wednesday, less than five months after Eaton repeated as Olympic decathon champion and Theisen-Eaton earned heptathlon bronze in Rio.
“It’s my time to depart from athletics; to do something new,” Eaton said on the married couple’s website. “Frankly there isn’t much more I want to do in sport. I gave the most physically robust years of my life to the discovery and pursuit of my limits in this domain.
