WELLINGTON - Double shot-put champion Valerie Adams qualified for her fifth Olympic Games on Saturday after the New Zealander spent almost two years out of competition.
“These are Games I’m really excited about attending, especially going as a mum of two now,” Adams told TVNZ after qualifying for the July 24-Aug. 9 Tokyo Games with throws of 18.55 and 18.65 meters at a meeting in New Zealand.“The last time I competed was 20 months ago so it has been a long road but quite an exciting journey.”
Adams announced her second pregnancy in October 2018, just weeks after she had opened up about problems with infertility.
