GANGNEUNG, South Korea (AP) — Marissa Brandt isn't quite sure what her new position will require, and she's only had a couple of days to start getting used to the idea of being an honorary ambassador.
The Korean-American hockey player is more than happy to do whatever she can.
"It's going to be nice to kind of have this platform, and hopefully I can help between Korea and America," Brandt said.
Brandt, who played hockey for South Korea's historic combined women's team under her birth name, Park Yoonjung, was named as an honorary ambassador for adoptees searching for their birth families Sunday on the final day of the Pyeongchang Games.
