Laurel Hubbard is happy to return to a life of anonymity after fulfilling her dreams of competing in an Olympic Games - despite bowing out of the +87kg weightlifting division in last place.
The softly-spoken Kiwi - whose contentious qualification for the Tokyo Games has sparked urgent calls for rule changes - made history as the first transgender athlete to compete as a solo Olympian.
The 43-year-old, who transitioned in 2012, bombed out on Monday after failing to register a single valid snatch lift.
She is now looking forward to a lifetime of graceful obscurity , telling local media that she s never been interested in having a public profile or any form of notoriety.
