RIO DE JANEIRO — Paula Reto has been piling up one highlight after another at the Rio Summer Games.
None bigger than meeting South African icon Gary Player for the first time.
Reto, the Purdue University graduate who is representing the Republic of South Africa alongside countrywomen Ashleigh Simon, could medal but nonetheless will leave Rio with memories lasting a lifetime.
She said Friday after the third round that she likes the food. She loves collecting pins; the one for South Africa is her favorite because it looks like a gold medal. The Athletes Village is her go-to place.
