Hiroki Abe

Hiroki Abe is a track and field athlete from Sukagawa, Fukushima, born in November 1997, and honestly that combination alone tells me something about the kind of person he is — there's a particular toughness that comes out of Tohoku, a region that has absorbed a lot and kept going, and athletes who grow up there tend to carry that same unspoken stubbornness in their legs. Scorpio, Year of the Ox — if you believe in that stuff, it's almost too on the nose for a distance or sprint grinder: fixed, relentless, quietly obsessive about things most people can't be bothered to care about. Track is one of those sports where you can't fake it; you versus the clock, every single time, no casting director, no viral moment to carry you. I genuinely respect that. He's still young enough that his best results are probably still ahead of him, and I'll be watching to see what he builds.
