Team GB's Shauna Coxsey has announced that the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games will be her final competition appearance after a senior career spanning over a decade, during which she has earned 30 World Cup podiums, 11 gold medals, an MBE and a coveted spot in the sport's debut Games, while overcoming multiple injuries along the way. Following the Games, Shauna hopes to spend more time on rock.
