Rio Olympics 2016: A look at the women who will compete with Dipa Karmakar at the vault finals

#2 Un Jong Hong (DPR Korea)

Un Jong Hong is one of the favourites to land a medal in the vaults

With a second place score of 15.683, Un Jong Hong’s never-before-seen triple twisting Yurchenko vault should have received greater attention for its difficulty. But one of the most mysterious gymnasts of the world is shrouded in her own silence.

Back from a ban for using three separate birth years in competition, Hong looked determined as ever. She has earlier denied Simone Biles gold medals and this time, she stuck a beautiful and complicated Yurchenko. One of the greatest contemporary gymnasts in the world, Hong has curiously little buzz around her but is sure to have a medal by the end of the competition.
