Dutch speed skating star Irene Schouten announces her retirement
Three-time Olympic gold medalist Irene Schouten announced her retirement on Monday. The 31-year-old said she was proud of her career, and practically has "too many" achievements under her belt. She said the only career goal she did not accomplish was a victory at the Elfstedentocht, the famous natural ice marathon around 11 cities in Friesland that last took place in 1997.
