Sweden’s Therèse Alshammar, who in Rio became the first woman to swim in six Olympics, will retire after one more domestic meet next week, according to Swedish reports.
Alshammar, 39, cited injury problems, including her back (where she has the word “Diva” tattooed to remind her not to be a diva), in preventing her from continuing in the sport, according to Dagnes Nyheter.
She debuted at the 1996 Atlanta Games at age 18, two years after her first world championships.
Alshammar won three Olympic medals, all at the 2000 Sydney Games.
