Yuki Ebihara

Yuki Ebihara is one of those athletes who quietly reminds you that track and field is mostly about the grind, not the spotlight. She won Asian Games gold in 2010, broke the Japanese javelin record more than once and threw at the London Olympics, yet field events rarely get the spotlight they deserve, and that always strikes me as a little unfair. There's something quietly impressive about someone from a small rural town who picks a hard sport and just goes all in. That kind of focused, no-fuss dedication is exactly the type of athlete I find myself rooting for.
