He told his mom that if she wants to go to Rio in 2016 he will buy her a ticket but he will not be competing there.

I think the quality I most admire is his ability to leave the sport.

He'll leave the competiion but he will still be around to inspire, right?

Definitely. I met him in 2004 briefly at a fan event; he has been an inspiration ever since.
