Six-time Olympic medalist and iconic American basketball player announces retirement

Diana Taurasi, a six-time U.S. Olympic champion, announced Tuesday that she is retiring from professional basketball after 20 years. “I am satiated and happy,” she told Time magazine.

Taurasi, who will celebrate her 43rd birthday on June 11 (her father is Italian, her mother Argentine), was the oldest player in history to compete in an Olympic basketball competition at last year’s Paris Games and became the first player to win six gold medals, dating back to the 2004 Athens Games. She also has three WNBA championships (2007, 2009, 2014), three world championships (2010, 2014, 2018) and six EuroLeague titles.

After a brilliant career at the University of Connecticut (three NCAA championships, 2002-04), she was selected number 1 in the 2004 WNBA draft by the Phoenix Mercury, whose colors she never changed. In her first season, she became the best rookie in the American league. Today, she is the leading scorer in WNBA history with 10,646 points. She played in the All-Star Game eleven times.

"She didn't just wear a jersey, she built our franchise. She played the game and changed it forever," the Arizona team wrote of her role.

Playing as a small forward, the 183 cm tall player was known especially for her three-point shooting. Playing in Europe during the WNBA off-season, she won the EuroLeague six times with Spartak Moscow and UMMC Yekaterinburg.

"Thank you Diana for changing our game forever," the WNBA wrote in a post on social media. (PAP)
