Sonny Bill Williams has also been a professional boxer and rugby league player
New Zealand's Sonny Bill Williams has been ruled out of the rest of the Olympic rugby sevens competition after partially rupturing an Achilles tendon.
The 31-year-old has been replaced in the squad by Sione Molia.
Williams, a two-time World Cup winner, limped off as his side lost 14-12 to Japan in their opening match in Rio.
He took time off from the 15-a-side game to focus on Rio and was expected to rejoin the New Zealand squad for the Rugby Championship later this month.
