The double-Olympic gold medal winning swimmer Rebecca Adlington says she's retiring from competitions - because, at 23, she feels to old to carry on. Becky was the first British woman to take an Olympic swimming title for 48 years when she won in Beijing - she also took two Olympic bronze medals at London 2012.
