Hong Un-Jong has been confirmed as North Korea's Olympian for women's gymnastics, Radio Free Asia reported.
Hong is best known for her vaulting abilities—she is the 2008 Olympic and 2014 world vault champion.
She competed her most difficult vaults in 2014: an Amanar (Yurchenko 2.5) and a Cheng (Yurchenko half on, 1.5 off).

This will be her second Olympic Games, as North Korea did not send any gymnasts to London 2012. She is the only North Korean female gymnast to win an Olympic medal.
