My Take
Ai Ōtomo competed at two Olympic Games, Athens 2004 and London 2012. Eight years is nearly a generation in elite volleyball; most of her contemporaries would have retired in between. Returning to that level after such a gap, at 184 cm, is what I find remarkable. She was born in Izumi, Miyagi, a city since absorbed into Sendai.
