    Para-athlete Holly Robinson has decided to put down her javelin for good


    She'll retire from the discipline following her sixth-placed finish in the women's F46 final at the Paralympics.

    Robinson - who won a javelin gold at the Tokyo games - also secured bronze in the shot put in Paris.
