Brit Greg Rutherford, the 2012 Olympic long jump champion who retired from track and field in 2018, is returning to sport as a bobsled push athlete, bidding to make the 2022 Olympics.
“I’m coming back, and I intend to make history,” Rutherford said, according to the Guardian. “I know most people believe it is impossible to go from never having attempted a sport to winning an Olympic medal in under a year. But I 100% disagree. I’m not doing this merely to turn up to finish 25th. I intend to train incredibly hard, get myself on to the team, and then win a medal.
