Why would a 25 year old retire from competitive throwing less than a year after finishing 10th in the world and throwing a national record of 69.51m? I sat down with New Zealand's Connor Bell to find the answer to that question and more. In this conversation, Bell opened up about what went into his decision to move on from the sport that had shaped the last decade of his life, reflected on some of the best moments from a great career, and looked ahead to what awaits him in his post-throwing life.
