Those people, who are keen on different kinds of sport, especially mixed martial arts and judo, should keep in mind the person, who is a well-known American athlete, who has won two Junior World medals at the age of 17 and 19 – Ronda Rousey.
Date of birth: February 1, 1987
Zodiac sign: Aquarius
Her first six years of life were extremely rough, because she had a disease that injured her vocal cords. As a result she couldn`t speak fluently and needed a diligent treatment. Moreover her childhood was not so careless. The dramatic event, that had happened in the Rousey`s family, had changed her life substantially. In 1995 her father committed suicide after having hurt his back and having learned, that he could stay disabled for his lifetime.
In 2004 Ronda took part in the Olympic Games in Athens and has become the youngest athlete in judo, who was among the participants of the Games. In 2004 and 2006 she has won two gold and bronze awards and has realized that her sport career was moving to the right direction. The turning point of her career was the Olympic Games in 2008, where Ronda has gained the bronze award in judo.
Afterwards her profession reached a dead end. She was trying to find a well-paid job to earn money and support herself and her family financially. But any profession required some special experience and skills, which she didn`t own. Ronda was working as a bartender and waitress, but it was so complicated for her.
In August 2010 Ronda ultimately has entered the Grendale fighting club and has participated in her amateur competition in mixed martial arts. Since that time she never gave up and won the majority of her fights. In November 2012 the woman had become the first female athlete to sign with the Ultimate Fighting Champion.
Ronda had appeared in several films; the most popular are ꞌThe Expendables 3ꞌ, ꞌFurious 7ꞌ, ꞌEntourageꞌ and others. In addition to that she showed up on the cover of many fashionable magazines.
