Double Olympic champion Valerie Adams, 30, has delivered a message to her followers on twitter that she is pulling out of the World Championships in Beijing,China.

Adams is still hugely motivated to be ready for the 2016 Rio Olympics saying " I must roll with the punches and deal with this sucker." Credit: NZN Video
