Canadian Paralympic gold medalist Adam Purdy has gone back into retirement after returning just two years ago to be able to swim at the 2015 Para Pan Am Games in front of a Canadian crowd in Toronto.
Purdy had originally retired following a successful Paralympic career that included a pair of gold medals at the 2000 Sydney Paralympics. Â A full 15 years later, he showed he still was among the top Paralympic athletes in the world by claiming two silvers and two bronzes at the 2015 Toronto Para Pan Am Games.
Purdy announced the news that he was going back into retirement on social media yesterday.
For the past 2 years I had dedicated myself to the commitment of a goal – that being to represent Canada at the 2015 Para Pan Am Games and to swim within 1% of my lifetime personal bests. Having accomplished and exceeded this goal in Toronto – supported by the cheer of family and friends in the crowd – I have now determined that this high note in my career (which will continue to resonate for some time) has set the perfect tone to announce my retirement from competitive swimming.
