New Zealand winger Portia Woodman-Wickliffe will retire from international rugby after the Paris Olympics, the 32-year-old said on Tuesday. Woodman-Wickliffe debuted for New Zealand in 2013 and played in both rugby union and rugby sevens, winning two World Cups in each format as well as the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics.

"She is a once in a generation player who reached the pinnacle on the field, on multiple occasions," New Zealand Rugby CEO Mark Robinson said in a statement. Woodman-Wickliffe scored a record 20 tries in World Cups.

"One last dance with my sisters in Paris," she wrote on Instagram. New Zealand are grouped with Fiji, Canada and China in Pool A at the Olympics, with the women's tournament set to begin on July 28.
