The Sydney Morning Herald had an article on Sunday announcing that Phillipe Rizzo has decided to retire from gymnastics. Unfortunately the article is not on their online version, however, it did say that he cited a lack of motivation as a primary reason for his retirement. Since, the AIS residential program was closed and the AIS was changed to a camps-based program he hasn't had a good environment to train in which contributed to his loss of motivation.
Conagratulation to Rizzo on an incredible career, but it is sad that it ended how it did, and hopefully Gymnastics Australia will realise how bad their decision to cut the AIS program has turned out to be.
