Airdrie's welll-liked Olympian Samantha Cools has decided to hang up her helmet for good.  In a release on their webpage late last night, the Canadian Cycling Association wished Cools all the best as she announced her retirement from competitive BMX racing.

The 2008 Olympian made history by becoming the first Canadian BMX racer to be chosen to ride in the Olympics.  Making it to the finals in Beijing, Cools finished seventh after a first straight crash left her trailing the race.  Cools was a Canadian medal hopeful in 2008 and was the incumbent to represent Canada in 2012 at the London Olympic Games.
