The 32-year-old made her retirement official on Wednesday in an emotional Instagram post.
“I gave the pursuit of a fifth Olympics everything I had, and therefore, even in failure, there is a small, indelible kernel of pride. It’s been a long and wild ride and I wouldn’t change it for the world. “I can’t wait to cheer on the Australian Dolphins and the rest of the Australian Olympic Team in Paris. “I am entering my cheerleading era.” Campbell ends her Olympic career with four gold, one silver and three bronze medals.
