Cycling: Pendleton to retire after London 2012

Victoria Pendleton wants to step away from track cycling altogether when she retires after the Olympics, according to the BBC. The nine-time world champion will be hoping to add three more golds to the one she won in Beijing. “I think I’ll step away,” said Britain’s most decorated female track cyclist. “I’d like to work in sport, but maybe not elite sport and cycling. I’m not ready to go back and stand trackside. I’d like to do normal things and settle down, maybe have a family. I don’t want to leave it too late. No one will begrudge me having a normal life.”
