Twice Olympic judo champion Xian Dongmei will not compete in the London Olympic Games, a top official said on Sunday.

Xian, who won in Athens and Beijing, has also taken three Chinese National Games gold medals. She has come back from retirement for six times and each time she could find her form and won a major tournament.

But Song Zhaonian, vice director of the Chinese Wrestling and Judo Administration Center, said the 34-year-old Xian will retire for good after winning her third National Games here earlier.

"She will not fight again. It's for sure," Song said.
