Ohuruogu won Olympic Gold in 2008 in the 400m in BeijingShe then took silver at London 2012 before regaining her world title in Moscow in 2013.


Ohuruogu, who announced she would be hanging up her spikes as the trials for the European Championships kicked off, said: "As I won't be competing I feel it is a good time to announce my retirement.



"I didn't feel ready to retire after last season but a combination of my studies and a niggling injury restricted how much training I was able to do this year.


"I end my career with four Olympic medals and five World Championships medals."

The Londoner was given a one-year ban for missing three out-of-competition drug tests in 2006 and her participation in the Beijing Games of 2008 was under threat at one stage.


A lifetime ban from Olympic competition from the British Olympic Association (BOA) followed, but Ohuruogu successfully appealed the decision, and briefly threatened to compete for a different country.



Her winning time of 49.62 seconds in the Bird's Nest was the fastest time of the year, pipping pre-race favourite Sanya Richards and Shericka Williams to the top spot on the podium.


After being retrospecitvely awarded bronze for the 4x400m relay in 2008, she claimed her final Olympic medal at Rio 2016 in the same event, running the final leg to win bronze alongside Eilidh Doyle, Anyika Onuora and Emily Diamond.

how to run turtle graphics in Colaboratory

how to run turtle graphics in Colaboratory Given that we can do other types of drawing/visualization in Colaboratory, I would think running turtle graphics would be pretty simple (but not so simple I've figured it out!) I can import the turtle library, but I get the following error when any draw command occurs: TclError: no display name and no $DISPLAY environment variable Thanks in advance. 1 Answer 1 I think P5.js is your best bet. I test it in this notebook. https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1TqF6RObllyslad3KrO4SiAuegRjuJDCF By clicking "Post Your Answer", you acknowledge that you have read our updated terms of service, privacy policy and cookie policy, and that your continued use of the website is subject to these policies.

I can go on until the moment that I select my result set like in the image below: exporting data set But once I go further in the process, in the last step I get: no query Note that in "source" it was suppose to show the query that originated the result set, but instead it says just "select.
