Kim Min-Seok

Table tennis hides a brutal intensity behind its small table, which is exactly why Kim Min-Seok earns my respect. Climbing to a career-high world ranking of 15 in 2014 and medaling at the World Championships puts him among an elite few who can survive that blur of speed and spin. As a member of South Korea's national team, he carried real pressure in one of the sport's deepest talent pools. I am always intrigued by the quiet competitors who grind their way near the summit without fanfare. The numbers carry the weight of countless hours.
