JUDO world champion Huh Mi-mi was born and raised in Japan, but she will represent South Korea at next month’s Paris Olympics to fulfil the wishes of her late grandmother.

Three years ago Mi-mi, who has a Japanese mother and Korean father, gave up her Japanese citizenship and moved to South Korea to train. She barely spoke Korean at the time.
