NEW DELHI: Former Olympic bronze medallist Yogeshwar Dutt expressed that an athlete's decision to retire is deeply personal, labeling it as the most poignant phase in a player's career. He shared these sentiments following wrestler Sakshi Malik's announcement of retirement from the sport.
"Taking retirement is a personal call of an athlete, but I will say that it is very sad for a player to leave their game in any situation or condition. Taking retirement is the saddest part of their career because they give their life to the game and earn recognition as well as respect because of it. It is their decision as well as it depends on time," Yogeshwar said.
