10 legendary athletes who we bid goodbye to at the Rio Olympics

Tamika Catchings

Catchings bows out with 4 gold medals in Women’s basketball.

Basketball is one event where the USA dominate on a regular basis and it is even more so in the Women’s event. Tamika Catchings is one of the all-time great basketball players and she proved it yet again, leading her country to yet another gold medal in Rio 2016.

She has been a constant in the side for over 10 years, collecting Women’s basketball gold at Athens 2004, Beijing 2008, and London 2012.

The 37-year-old announced her retirement from the sport and will go down as one of the greatest basketball players of all time.
