Moe Meguro

Growing up in Minami-Furano — a town so far into Hokkaido's interior that ice and snow aren't a season, they're just the default setting — it almost feels inevitable that Moe Meguro ended up on a curling sheet. Born in 1984, she's part of a generation that quietly built Japanese women's curling into something the rest of the world had to start taking seriously. What I respect most is that she made it to Hirosaki University while competing, which tells you this wasn't just raw talent coasting on cold weather and luck. Curling gets a lot of fair-weather fans during the Winter Olympics when everyone suddenly becomes an expert on the skip's calls, but the athletes who actually grind through the off-years and low-spotlight seasons are the ones who built the sport. Meguro is exactly that kind of player.

Moe Meguro is a Japanese curler born on November 20, 1984, in Minami-Furano, Hokkaido. She attended Hirosaki University, balancing her academic studies with her athletic career. Originally from Hokkaido, a region with strong curling traditions, she developed her career as a competitive curler.
