Kiwi golfer Lydia Ko will consider adding to her OIympic rings and fern tattoos if she can round off her Games medals collection in Paris this week.
Ko has won silver and bronze at the two previous Olympics and would love to add the gold medal at Le Golf National just outside Paris.
She says she has a fair number of tattoos already, but might consider a new one if she finished at the top of the leaderboard.
"Let the golfing gods decide what's going to happen from here."
The first of four rounds gets underway on Wednesday night.
Meanwhile, Kiwi pole vaulter Eliza McCartney says it's a "dream come true" for her to be competing at the Olympics at the same time as her partner.
However, it was important she did not get too "emotionally invested" in how Lukas Walton-Keim was faring in his kite-foiling event, 800km away in Marseille.
Walton-Keim was named to compete at the Paris Olympics after he appealed his initial non-nomination at the Sports Tribunal which then ordered Yahting New Zealand to revisit its selection process.
