Yeo Hong-chul Career

Yeo won the silver medal in the vault event at the 1996 Summer Olympics. He also participated in 1992 Summer Olympics, 1994 Asian Games, 1998 Asian Games and 2000 Summer Olympics. After the 2000 Summer Olympics, he announced his retirement. He has two vault skills named after him. His daughter would later conceive her own eponymous FIG-recognized vault skill by combining the "Yeo I" and "Yeo II".

He competed on the Japanese obstacle course show, Sasuke, four different times (7th, 8th, 11th, 12th tournaments), but failed to clear the first stage every time.

After retiring, Yeo earned his doctorate degree at Korea National Sport University. He is a professor at Kyung Hee University's College of Physical Education. His research has largely been focused on the kinetic motions of elite athletes.

He served as a commentator for KBS's domestic broadcasts of artistic gymnastics events at the 2020 Summer Olympics.
