FINAL NZ ATHLETE UPDATE
Lydia Ko has written her name into the
golfing history books once again.
The Kiwi golfing phenom has become
the first golfer to win 2 Olympic medals,
winning bronze at Kasumigaseki Country
Club outside Tokyo to go with her Rio
2016 silver medal.
She says she feels extremely honoured.
“Obviously I’m super honoured that I’ve
been able to win two medals for New
Zealand.
Being a silver medalist in Rio was one
of the best memories of my life and not
many people get to call themselves an
Olympian, and to be an Olympic medalist
kind of takes it to a new level.
I’m always proud to play for New Zealand
and I felt like I wanted to do better for our
country, and I felt all the support.
Seeing some of the Kiwis here today
definitely helped me. I wish it could have
been a different colour, but at the end of
the day, to be one of the medalists is a
huge honour.”
