It's all in the family for South Korea's An

Next summer's Olympics promise to be a family affair for South Korean golfer An Byeong-hun when the sport tees off in Rio de Janeiro after a 112-year absence.

The 23-year-old from Seoul is the son of Olympic table tennis medalists and is dreaming of adding gold to the silver and bronze medals already won by his parents.

"I wouldn't be here if there wasn't an Olympics," An said on Wednesday as he recounted the story of how romance blossomed between his parents during the 1988 Summer Games in Seoul.
