Everyone tries to support me throughout the way and it's the dream finally comes true. I am excited about it and hopefully I could play better in Olympics."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Tiffany Chan, Hong Kong Olympic golfer (on many top male players deciding to skip the Olympics):

"I mean as an individual I couldn't really comment on why others are dropping out. But for me, I am really happy and excited to be a part of the Olympics because golf returns back to Olympics which is really a different feeling for all the player s all over the world because every players got their tour like LPGA, PGA. Everyone got their own regular tournaments to play, but Olympics only happen once every four years."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Tiffany Chan, Hong Kong Olympic golfer (on her expectations for the Olympics)

"My expectation is to be top 40 or top 50 because my ranking getting to the Olympics is 56th. As an amateur, it is hard to play better than the professionals because they play tour all the time. So I think for an amateur getting into Olympics is already a big achievement for three of us. So I mean I just going to go and enjoy the game and then learn from the pros, and hopefully I could play my best, and we will see how it goes."
