Meaning
This reads as a careful way of setting a boundary without making a final announcement. It says the person is stepping back from a season and the Olympics, while leaving room before using the word retirement, which suggests timing and control matter here. It lands in a situation where an athlete wants clarity about immediate plans but is not ready to define the whole next chapter.
