The tennis great was carried down Kilimanjaro on a litter on Thursday night. Miss Navratilova said she knew by Wednesday she wouldn't be able to summit the 19,340-foot mountain in Tanzania. "I didn't feel badly, I just couldn't breathe. I couldn't get a full breath of air," Miss Navratilova said after being released from the hospital, where she was treated for high-altitude pulmonary edema. "Nothing hurt, and for an athlete that's weird. Nothing hurt but I (couldn't) go on," she said. The 54-year-old, who overcame breast cancer earlier this year,reached nearly 14,800 feet when a doctor with 27-person climbing team told her she needed to descend.Martina Navratilova was released from a Nairobi hospital on Sunday, three days after her liquid-filled lungs forced her to abandon her attempt to climb Africa's highest mountain.
