- Olympic champion sustained injury in 2018
- ‘I have zero regrets about the way I’ve lived my career’
The British Olympic gold medallist Alex Danson has retired from hockey.
Danson, 34, triumphed with Great Britain’s women’s hockey team at Rio 2016. Two years later, in September 2018, she suffered a freak head injury that caused mild brain trauma and meant she could not cope with bright light or noise for over nine months.
