Three-times Olympic gold medallist Max Whitlock is coming out of retirement to target a place at the 2028 Los Angeles Games, the 32-year-old Briton said on Monday.

Whitlock had previously said the 2024 Olympics would be his last but he felt his career was "incomplete" after missing out on a podium place in Paris.

"I'm officially back, I'm a gymnast again, and that feels crazy. Something was itching away at me constantly, it has been for the last year, it feels unfinished, incomplete," Whitlock said on the BBC's The One Show.

"So I'm going back in, a three-year stint, I want to make it to my fifth Olympic Games. I know it's a dangerous game to play, but I want to finish it on a high, I want to rewrite the end of my career. "
