Daley Thompson believes that Paula Radcliffe is "one of the greatest athletes" that has ever competed for Britain.

Former British decathlete Daley Thompson has heaped praised on Paula Radcliffe following her decision to withdraw from the marathon at the London Olympics.

The 38-year-old opted to pull out of the Games after failing to recover from a persistent foot injury.

Speculation has now claimed that she will now call time on her career.

With that in mind, two-time Olympic gold medallist Thompson has described Radcliffe as "one of the greatest athletes" Britain has ever produced.

"Paula Radcliffe if u do retire its as one of the greatest athletes we have ever produced," he wrote on Twitter. "The only thing u lacked in you armory was luck."

Radcliffe failed to win a gold medal in the two Olympic Games that she competed in.
