Time rates Lorde, Ko in top teens

Two New Zealanders - pop-star Lorde and golfer Lydia Ko - have again made Time Magazine's list of the world's 25 most influential teenagers.

The American magazine said 17-year-old Lorde had established herself as a role model who promoted a healthy body image.

It said Ko, also 17, was listed because she was ranked third among women golfers worldwide and had sparked an interest in the sport.

Last year, Lorde took first place on the Time teenage list and Ko came second.
