 Milda Valčiukaitė (rowing) announced about her retirement during Lithuanian Sports Awards. Milda won bronze in Rio 2016 Olympics, 2013 and 2018 World champion and 2013 European champion

Wow, I wonder if this has to do with Ieva's ban? Milda didn't want to switch to single sculls? Donata is already 32 so I wouldn't be surprised if she stopped too. She already seemed to have stopped and only came back when Ieva got banned.
