Luo won the women's 50 and 100 meters breaststroke events at both 2001 and 2003 world championships. She captured the 50m title at the Athens Olympics in 2004, which was China's first Olympic swimming gold in eight years.

She has been plagued with heart problems since 2006 and stopped training last November. Medical experts in Beijing and Hangzhou suggested that she should not continue her professional career although the heart problem will not affect her normal life.

Luo will study international relations in China's prestigious Beijing University. "I will work as hard as I did in swimming. Maybe I will get involved in the Beijing Olympic Games in a different capacity." (Xinhua)
