Buttle retires from figure skating
http://www.cbc.ca/sports/figures ... g-buttleretire.html
Reigning world champion Jeff Buttle is retiring from figure skating, saying Wednesday in Toronto that he's satisfied with everything he has accomplished in his career.
Buttle, who is from Barrie, Ont., made his senior international debut in the 2001-2002 season, placing second at a Grand Prix event in Japan.
He then placed third at the Canadian championships and first at the Four Continents Figure Skating Championships.
During the next six seasons, he climbed steadily through the ranks of international skating.
In addition to winning three national titles (2005, 2006 and 2007), he won a bronze medal at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino. In sixth place after a flawed short program in Italy, Buttled turned in a solid free skate to land on the medal podium.
Buttle won a gold (2008) and a silver (2005) in the world championships.
At this year’s worlds in Sweden, he placed first in both programs and won the title by a wide margin.
Though he didn’t attempt the vaunted quadruple jump, Buttle finished almost 14 points ahead of defending champion Brian Joubert of France.
With that victory, he became the first man to win a world title since Elvis Stojko in 1997.
"It's a deserving title and he's a deserving champion," said Michael Slipchuk, director of high performance for Skate Canada. "It's one thing to win a world title, but he convincingly won it."

好吧,如果这是他认为的最合适的happy ending……
下面是FSU上ID为libby的冰友对他所说的话:
“Wow. I'm shocked that he is not going to continue through the Vancouver Olympics and try to medal there, but if he is happy, then I guess I will say good for him.”
这同样也是我想要对你说的,Jeff…… 谢谢你这些年来的温暖陪伴~~wish the best future
