Hockey: Netherlands superstar Ellen Hoog calls time on her international career
The Dutch legend isn't giving up the sport entirely though
After 12 1/2 years and 232 caps, Ellen Hoog has announced she is quitting international hockey. The 30-year-old star will keep playing for her club Amsterdam, but wants to dedicate more time to her interests outside of the sport, including fashion and healthy eating.
Among Hoog's many achievements are two Olympic golds (Beijing 2008 and London 2012), one Olympic silver (Rio 2016), two World Cups (2006 in Madrid and 2014 at home in Amsterdam), three European Championships (2005, 2009 and 2011) and two Champions Trophies.
She was voted the best player in the world for 2014.
On her website (in Dutch), Hoog wrote: 'I proudly look back on a great career. I hope I was able to inspire many young people and will continue to do so.'
She also paid tribute to her Oranje team-mates: 'We've been through it all together and that made it all the more special. Some friends and memories for life.'
