‘Super stoked’ Ko to tee off for NZ at Tokyo Games

WELLINGTON: New Zealand golfer Lydia Ko confirmed Wednesday she will compete at the Tokyo Olympics, where she is hoping to improve on the silver medal she won in Rio.

Ko had previously indicated the coronavirus would not deter her from taking part in the Games, describing her involvement in Rio as a career highlight.

“I’m super excited for the Tokyo Olympics, I’m super stoked to be able to represent New Zealand again,” the 24-year-old said in a statement.

“I’ve always felt very proud to be able to fly the New Zealand flag. To have the opportunity to represent New Zealand on a stage where all the best athletes are competing is a huge honour.”
