Miho’s mom explanation for how she chose her name was just beautiful.

the switch from Japanese to English was so seamless/imperceptible & surprising I questioned my sanity for a sec

Miho's fighting spirit is what makes her a favorite of mine

This was VERRRRY WELL produced and edited. Her story and perseverance come across loudly. Thank you for highlighting such a quiet talent ready to be HEARD. Good job Adidas!

i could honestly watch a whole documentary film about Miho, so much respect for her
-
I really like her mom. She's obviously a very Japanese person in terms of her approach, but in some ways she has opened up a bit to a few Western ideas and chosen to meet her daughter where she was, rather than trying to rigidly enforce a standard. It seems she's been a key reason that Miho still looks at a very difficult sport and a grueling life of training as something fun and enjoyable to do. It hasn't been drilled so hard that it felt like a chore. It's a very good approach to life and one that has allowed her naturally to strive for that classic Japanese perfection, but in her own way. Intriguing and inspirational, for sure! Bon chance à Paris!

One of my favorite times was watching Miho, Akiyo Noguchi, and Janja Garnbret battle back and forth each winning different competitions against each other leading up to the Olympics. For me that was the big showdown and all three showed out amazingly.
-
I'm so hyped for the Olympics, can't believe it's that time again already. Memory of Miho, Janja and Akiyo sharing the podium is stell fresh. And there's so many other talents now, Natalia, Brooke, Oriane, Ai, so many others.

My god, can’t believe it’s been 3 years since the Olympics and it’s going to be very soon again. All the best to this amazing and inspiring woman!!

Baby Miho is too adorable 😢

If anyone was wondering the superb music background from the second part of the video is Attacca - Spearfisher & Brianna Tam. Should have been put in the description, amazing piece of music.

Perfect ambassador for the sport and for Adidas. Charming, beautiful, amazing athlete, multilingual, and stylish. Great pickup for them.

Beautifully produced video, leading viewers to care about the person, not just her accomplishments and future prospects. I'm a new fan in America, and I'll be rooting for her in Paris.

I was really not expecting that dialect of English coming out of Miho's mouth. She speaks really well though.
