Dame Valerie's plans for Tokyo 2020 undeterred by pregnancy

New Zealand shot putter Dame Valerie Adams has declared that her current pregnancy with her second child, a boy, won't stop her from competing at the Tokyo Olympics in 2020.

Dame Valerie is currently in Monaco presenting the award for Woman of the Year at the annual IAAF awards night where she was once honoured as Female Athlete of the Year in 2014.

The 34-year-old said on the event's red carpet that bouncing back from pregnancy is tough but with her baby due in April feels she has enough time to prepare.
