Laetita Dugain retiring



At 16 years old, Laetita Dugain, 23rd at the Beijing Olympics, has decided to end her career, 30 hours of training per week, because of recurring injuries. Last January, she had an operation on the cartilage of her left elbow, after a previous operation to her right elbow, and two to her left knee. It was for her passion for gymnastics, she told L'Equipe this Wednesday. "My cartilage went everywhere. It hurt me to leave, but I had to turn the page." The ex-gymnast will now focus on her studies.
