"I will be back from this, but right now I need some time to reflect and take in what has happened," concluded Amber."This is an incredibly sad situation for Amber after she's worked so hard to earn her Olympic place for Team GB. Our focus is to now make sure Amber is kept safe and well, both physically and mentally, and we have the support in place to help her through this difficult period," said GB shooting Team Leader Steven Seligmann.Amber, a silver medallist in skeet at the 2018 Commonwealth Games, had earned an Olympic quota by winning the women's skeet competition at the ISSF World Cup in New Delhi in March this year.
