Why did Arnie retire so early?

When Arnold Schwarzenegger was crowned Mr. Universe in 1967 at the age of twenty, he became the youngest man ever to win the title. He also collected the titles of Mr. Europe and Best-Built Man of Europe, and also won the International Powerlifting Championship. In 1968, he came defended the Mr. Universe title he'd won the previous year, and placed second – one of the few setbacks of his entire bodybuilding career. Thereafter, his triumphs in the sport were so consistent (he won four more Mr. Universe titles and six consecutive Mr. Olympia titles) that Schwarzenegger retired after 7 years because he felt he "wasn't giving others a chance to win."
