LONDON -- Nico Rosberg retired from Formula One at age 31 Friday, a startling announcement that came five days after winning his first drivers championship.Some other sports stars who retired at a young age:---BJORN BORG (TENNIS)Borg retired at the beginning of 1983 at 26. One of the greatest tennis players, the Swede won Wimbledon five times in a row and also captured six French Open titles.Borg failed to win the US Open in 10 tries, losing four finals -- 1976 and 1978 to Jimmy Connors, and 1980 and 1981 to McEnroe.He played only one tournament in 1982, reaching the quarterfinals in Monte Carlo, before announcing he was quitting the game.---ROCKY MARCIANO (BOXING)Marciano had been the world heavyweight champion for four years and won all 49 of his fights -- 43 by knockout -- when he retired in 1956 at the age of 32. The American wanted to spend more time with his family.He died 13 years later in a plane crash.Marciano, nicknamed the Brockton Blockbuster, remains the only heavyweight champion to retire undefeated.---SANDY KOUFAX (BASEBALL)Koufax was baseballs most dominant pitcher when he played his final game in 1966. Though he was only 30, his left elbow was ravaged by arthritis.Koufax had a career-high 27 wins for the Dodgers that last season. He also led baseball in ERA, strikeouts and innings while tossing 27 complete games.A three-time Cy Young winner and two-time World Series MVP, he was an All-Star his last six seasons. Known for his sharp curve and pinpoint fastball, Koufax became baseballs youngest Hall of Famer when he was elected at 36 in 1972.Koufax avoided the spotlight for years after leaving the game, but has been more active recently.---JIM BROWN (FOOTBALL)Brown was the top runner in NFL history when he walked away. His last carry came in the 1965 championship game at age 29, capping an MVP season for the Cleveland Browns.Still considered by many the best and most rugged rusher ever, Brown abruptly retired in the summer of 1966 while on the set of The Dirty Dozen. He had a main part in the popular movie and when filming lagged on, the Browns objected to the idea of him missing the start of training camp.Brown ran for 12,312 yards and scored 106 touchdowns, and the led the league in rushing for eight of his nine pro seasons.The Hall of Famer went to an acting career and is still involved with the Browns as an adviser.---BARRY SANDERS (FOOTBALL)Sanders reeled off dazzling runs for a decade with the Detroit Lions before his surprising retirement at 31. He gained nearly 1,500 yards in 1998 and was nearing the NFLs all-time record when he simply said he was done.My desire to exit the game is greater than my desire to remain in it, he said in a statement faxed to his hometown newspaper in Wichita, Kansas.Sanders was in the middle of a long-term contract and healthy when he left. A Pro Bowler in all 10 of his seasons, he was later elected to the Hall of Fame.---BOBBY JONES (GOLF)Considered the greatest amateur in golf, Bobby Jones capped off his career when he captured the Grand Slam in 1930 by winning the British Open, British Amateur, U.S. Open and U.S. Amateur. He was treated to a ticker-tape parade in New York.And then he retired at age 28. He described championship golf as a cage.First you are expected to get into it, and then you are expected to stay there, he said. But of course, nobody can stay there.Jones co-founded Augusta National Golf Club, and played the Masters more as a ceremonial figure over the next 12 years.---MARCO VAN BASTEN (SOCCER)Van Basten won three Ballon dOr titles and two European Cups as well as the European Championship with the Netherlands in a glittering career that was cut short by injury at age 28.He also helped Ajax to three Dutch titles and Milan to four Italian league A trophies.Milans Champions League final defeat to Marseille in 1993 would be his final match due to persistent ankle problems that forced his retirement two years later.Van Basten went on to a career in management, coaching Ajax and the Netherlands among others.---LORENA OCHOA (GOLF)Ochoa was the top-ranked female player when she announced her retirement in 2010 at 28, putting aside golf so she could start a family. Coming two years after the retirement of Annika Sorenstam at 37, the LPGA was robbed of another of its biggest names.Ochoa was probably the best-known athlete in Mexico who was not a soccer player, winning 27 LPGA titles and two majors -- the Womens British Open in 2007 and the Kraft Nabisco Championship in 2008.Ochoa gave birth to her first child 20 months after retiring.---JUSTINE HENIN (TENNIS)The seven-time Grand Slam winner was still No. 1 in the WTA rankings when she shocked tennis in 2008 with her retirement at 25.She said she had lost the desire to train and wanted to rediscover the small pleasures of life.Before Henin, no reigning No. 1 had retired from the womens game.But the break did not last long. The 2004 Olympic champion returned 20 months later and reached the 2010 Australian Open final. She retired for good in January 2011 because of a lingering elbow injury. Zach Zenner Jersey . He said Tuesday thats a big reason why he is now the new coach of the Tennessee Titans. Whisenhunt said he hit it off quickly with Ruston Webster when interviewing for the job Friday night. Matt Nelson Jersey . The Dane followed up his first European Tour title last weekend with eight birdies and just a single dropped shot on Thursday for a one-stroke advantage over South Africas Allan Versfeld and Portugals Ricardo Santos. http://www.wholesalelionsjerseys.com/?tag=youth-jerome-cunningham-jersey . The phone hearing is scheduled for 4:30pm et/1:30pm pt. Winchester, who was not penalized for the hit, appeared to make contact with Kellys head early in the first period of Thursdays game in Boston. Justin Coleman Jersey .C. -- Todd Fiddler scored a hat trick, including the overtime goal, as the Prince George Cougars survived an 8-7 win against the Kamloops Blazers in Western Hockey League play Sunday. Kevin Strong Jersey . -- Jacksonville wide receiver Cecil Shorts will likely be a game-time decision whether hell play Sunday in the Jaguars home game against the San Diego Chargers. BROOKLYN, Mich. -- Brett Moffitt isnt eligible for the season-ending Chase in the NASCAR Truck Series.Teammate Timothy Peters is, but on the final lap at Michigan International Speedway, that didnt much matter.We just had such a run -- we were rolling five to 10 miles an hour faster than them getting into Turn 1, Moffitt said. I knew if there was room to get to the outside, I didnt care if it was going to stick or not. Im here to win races.Moffitt passed Peters and William Byron to win Saturdays Trucks race at Michigan by 0.098 seconds, a thrilling ending that gave Red Horse Racing a 1-2 finish. Peters took second but remains without a win this season -- a victory could have solidified a spot in the Chase.Moffitt won for the first time in six Trucks races. This was only his fourth start of the year on this series in the No. 11 Toyota, so hes not eligible for the Chase.Peters was two laps away from what would have been his first victory of the season, but Byron nosed ahead with a lap to go, and Moffitt was then able to move to the outside and take over the lead.Daniel Hemric finished third and Byron ended up fourth.The 11 was coming with such a run. No choice -- even if I tried to block, Im pretty sure Id have wrecked us both, Peters said. Hindsights 20-20, and Im sure that if I could go back and redo it, we probably would, but still a great day for us, were still alive. If I cant win it, I like Daniel, but Im glad Brett won.Six of the eight Chase spots are accountted for by drivers who have won races this year.dddddddddddd Hemric and Peters are both winless, but as of now, theyre in position to make the field on points. They can both take solace in the fact that Saturdays winner wasnt eligible.Pole winner John Wes Townley finished 12th. There were seven cautions in the 100-lap, 200-mile race.WHOS HOT: Red Horse Racing owner Tom DeLoach had mixed emotions while watching his drivers take the top two spots.Youre thrilled for one of them, your feelings are hurt a little bit on the other one, he said. Its a fantastic day for Red Horse.WHOS NOT: Cole Custer led 18 laps but was done in by an accident late in the race and finished 22nd. Hes still winless this year.UNCERTAIN FUTURE: Moffitt was the Sprint Cup rookie of the year last season but said he was victimized when Michael Waltrip Racing folded late in 2015.Every year in my career has kind of been like that. Ive always been at the end of the year not knowing where Im going to go, he said. I thought I had a three-year deal with Michael Waltrip Racing, and when that closed down, that kind of put me right back in the same situation. Every time, its right when I start getting comfortable, it seems like the rugs pulled out from under me.UP NEXT: Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, Sept. 4. Erik Jones won there last year. He now races in the Xfinity Series.
