New Zealand's two-time Olympic rugby gold medalist Woodman-Wickliffe retires, again

New Zealand women's rugby star Portia Woodman-Wickliffe is retiring for a second time at the age of 34. The two-time World Women's Player of the Year who won gold medals in rugby sevens at the Tokyo and Paris Olympics announced her decision Thursday. Woodman-Wickliffe came out of a short retirement to play for New Zealand's Black Ferns at the Women's World Cup in Britain last year.
