Olympic champion Carolina Kluft will not defend her heptathlon title at the Beijing Olympics in August, she told Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet.
'I can understand that a lot of people will not understand my choice and there will be questions but my motivation is not enough for the heptathlon,' she said in an interview.
'It takes 1000% commitment and for the past two years I have not had the same hunger.'
She said she would compete in the long jump and triple jump in Beijing.
