British Olympian Jodie Williams has announced her retirement from athletics.

Williams, 31, has competed in three Olympic Games and was part of Team GB’s bronze medal-winning women’s 4×400 meters relay team at Paris 2024.

Among her individual accolades, Williams won the European and Commonwealth 200m silver medal among nine major international medals at the senior level.

“Dear athletics, it is time to part ways,” Williams said on social media.

“You allowed me to achieve my childhood dreams and transformed me from an insecure, awkward little girl into an equally awkward but much more confident woman.”

Williams specializes in the 200 metres, and in 2014 she won the European silver medal in 22.46 seconds, becoming the sixth fastest British woman over that distance.

Later in his career he also achieved success in the 400 metres, winning the Commonwealth bronze medal in Birmingham in 2022.

Victoria Ohuruogu competed in the heats to win her first global medal as a member of the women’s 4x400m team in Paris, before Laviai Nielsen, Nicole Yeargin and Amber Anning finished behind the USA and the Netherlands in the final.
