(Reuters) - Briton Joanna Rowsell Shand announced her retirement from international cycling on Tuesday, calling time on a stellar 10-year career that garnered two Olympic golds and five World Championship triumphs.
The 28-year-old track and road cyclist, who is also a four-times European champion and won the individual pursuit at the last Commonwealth Games, claimed gold in the team pursuit at the 2012 London Olympics and repeated the feat in Rio last year.
