GOLFER KO EXCITED TO FULFIL HER OLYMPIC DREAM
WELLINGTON: World number one Lydia Ko grew up thinking the Olympics were an impossible dream, so she won’t let anything — even the Zika virus threat — stop her chasing glory in Rio. Golf is returning to the Olympics after a 112-year absence and the 19-year-old New Zealander believes she can take in three Games before giving up, and who knows maybe turning to a new career in cooking. “I never thought of golf returning to the Olympics, especially since it was last played in 1904, it’s just incredible,” she told AFP.
