Son Yeon-jae

Son Yeon-jae is South Korea's most decorated rhythmic gymnast, and I'd argue she single-handedly made the sport visible there. The 2014 Asian Games all-around gold, the 2010 bronze, and three Asian Championships all-around titles in 2013, 2015 and 2016 form a remarkable run for a country with little prior rhythmic pedigree. Standing 164cm and competing on the national team out of Taereung, she carried real pressure as the face of the discipline. She's since retired and studied at Yonsei, which I respect; gymnasts rarely get celebrated for what comes after. The 'American' tagline in her data is plainly an import error.

Son Yeon-jae KTM (Korean: 손연재; born 28 May 1994) is a retired South Korean individual rhythmic gymnast. She is a former member of the South Korean national gymnastics team, based in Taereung, Seoul. Son is the 2014 Asian Games All-around Champion, the 2010 Asian Games All-around bronze medalist, three-time (2016, 2015, 2013) Asian Championships All-around Champion.
