Ever since Mirai was 12, she dreamt about perfecting the triple axle and worked hard to develop it.
She practiced ten excels for more than a year focusing on various aspects including speed, height, and even consulted sports psychologist from time to time. She kept her determination and confidence intact by learning from her failures.
But, along with her rigorous practice, she also had to pay for skating classes by doing a part-time job which involved clearing ice for the NHL's Colorado Avalanche. Meanwhile, her hard work paid off as she went onto win bronze medal for the US in 2018 Olympics by mastering the triple flip.
