Golf star Michelle Wie to be 2014 Winter Olympics ambassador
Teenage women's golf sensation Michelle Wie is going to become an honorary ambassador for the 2014 Winter Olympics bid of the South Korean ski resort of Pyeongchang.
American golf star Michelle Wie, 17, who has had finished third in two majors to date, grew up on the island of Hawaii but has Korean parents.
"I'm proud of my Korean heritage and also a big fan of winter sports," said Michelle Wie and she added: "If the 2014 Winter Games are held in Pyeongchang I'm sure they will be a fantastic and memorable experience."
The resort of Pyeongchang just lost out to Vancouver in the race to host the 2010 Winter Olympics and Paralympics and it will learn its fate on 4 July 2007 when the International Olympic Committee will make a decision between Pyeongchang, Salzburg in Austria and Sochi in Russia.
