Korean Olympians return home

The Korean Olympians attended a celebration of their accomplishments in Korea on Wednesday at Incheon Airport. Inbee Park was notably absent, but most of the others seem to have come. Note that most of the team came back on a special flight this morning, but the archery team, for instance, has been in Korea for about a week already and Inbee came back yesterday.

Yeon Je Son is a Rhythmic Gymnast who is extremely popular in Korea (not hard to see why). She is also a world class athlete in her sport, although she just missed a medal in Rio. Son is good friends with So Yeon Ryu, and they text each other to offer encouragement all the time.
