The temptation of the Tokyo Games pushed Hannah Mills’ retirement plans back, but digging deep one last time wasn’t an easy decision for the Olympic sailing champion.

Mills planned to bow out following this summer’s planned Games, but when Tokyo 2020 became Tokyo 2021, the 470 champion from Rio suddenly had a tough choice to make.

For some, it would be a no-brainer to carry on. Others would stick to their original plan. As for the 32-year-old, she was somewhere in the middle.
