I watched my race a number of times, but I didn&#8217;t get the feeling of frustration like before. I gave everything I had an am satisfied.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The 26-year old made history for Japan when she became the first woman to win an individual gold medal at a World Championships in 2015 in the 200 fly. Hoshi also boasts two\u00a0bronze medals in the women&#8217;s 200-meter fly from the 2012 London Olympic Games and 2016 Rio Olympic Games.<\/p>\n<p>While Hoshi has been a staple in international competition for years, her impact on the sport becomes even more awe-inspiring due to her struggle with Graves&#8217; disease. Graves&#8217; disease is an autoimmune disease that results in an excessive production of the thyroid production, which resulted in the Olympian having her thyroid gland surgically removed in November 2014.<\/p>\n<p>Hoshi noted that, &#8220;I&#8217;ve had to deal with illness and surgery, but because I went through these things, I was able to genuinely think that I love to swim and that I want to return to the pool again. A lot has happened, but to sum it up, I led a competitive career.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In addition to announcing her retirement, Hoshi confirmed that she will stay in the sport as an assistance coach &#8220;with the swim team of sporting goods maker Mizuno Corp.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>Read the full report from The Japan Times <a href=\"http:\/\/www.japantimes.co.jp\/sports\/2016\/10\/04\/olympics\/summer-olympics\/swimmer-hoshi-confirms-retirement\/#.V_PmPeUrJhE\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two-time Olympic bronze medalist\u00a0Natsumi Hoshi\u00a0confirmed her retirement from the sport of swimming at a press conference held Tuesday, October 4th in Tokyo.
