Swimmer Hannah Miley has announced her retirement from competitive swimming.

The 32 year old represented Team GB in three Olympic Games, as well as bringing home the title from Commonwealth Games and European Championships and enjoying success in various other competitions.

In a statement she wrote: "I remember being an eight year old swimmer desperate to go to the pool, 24 years later that feeling hasn’t changed.

"Three Olympic Games, double Commonwealth Champion, World and European Champion, European Record holder.

"To stand on the podium and listen to the national anthem for both Great Britain and Team Scotland is indescribable.

"It’s been one hell of a ride.

"I’ve met and worked with so many wonderful people and would like to thank them all for their time and support.

"There is one person that I need to thank, my dad.

"His ingenious ability to think outside the box and groundbreaking analysis has taken my family AKA ‘Team Miley’ on the most incredible journey. "
