The world’s most authoritative voice of cycling, Phil Liggett, has announced he has called his last Olympic Games during an interview with Eddie McGuire. 

Known affectionately as the ‘Voice of Cycling’ Liggett has been a mainstay of Olympic cycling commentary, with Paris being his 17th Games.

Liggett – who turns 81-years-old the same day as the Closing Ceremony – called his final Olympic event Sunday in Paris with the Women’s Road Race. While he may have commentated on his final Games, retirement isn’t on the cards quite just yet.
