Helen Glover ruled out another rowing return after an agonising fourth place at the Tokyo Olympics.
The defending women's pair champion finished just outside the medals with Polly Swann as New Zealand took the title ahead of the Russian Olympic Committee and Canada.
Glover, who won in 2012 and 2016, only returned to training in March 2020 following four years away after starting a family and insisted she does not expect to make another comeback with Team GB.
