The two time Olympic shot put champion Dame Valerie Adams has withdrawn from this weekend's season ending Diamond League track and field meeting in Brussels due to injury.
Athletics New Zealand throws coach Scott Goodman says Adams has been suffering from a knee injury and decided as she won't be at her best to withdraw from the meet.
Goodman says the injury doesn't spell the end of Dame Valerie's career.
