World Cup marks the end of Lisa Mayer's professional journey
Lisa Mayer, a 29-year-old middle Hessian sprinter, has announced her retirement from athletics, with the upcoming World Championships in Tokyo marking the end of her professional career. The news was shared in an Instagram video on Sunday.
Mayer, who competes in middle-distance events, has been nominated for both the individual 100m event and the German 4x100m relay team for the World Championships. The event, scheduled to take place in Tokyo, is a significant athletics competition and a fitting finale for Mayer's career.

She is ready for a new chapter in her life following her retirement from athletics and intends to enjoy the World Championships.
The World Championships in Tokyo are set to be Lisa Mayer's final competition. As a member of the German national team, she will be competing alongside her fellow athletes in the sprint relay.

As she prepares for her retirement, Mayer has emphasised the importance of balance in life. She looks forward to spending more time with her loved ones and pursuing new passions. Her retirement from athletics is not the end, but the beginning of a new journey.
The World Championships in Tokyo are shaping up to be an unforgettable event, not only for the competition but also for the farewell of a beloved athlete. Lisa Mayer's dedication, determination, and passion for the sport have inspired many, and her legacy will continue to do so.
