Thanks Jamiet. I extend my sympathy to Hominidae.

That's OK, I was in the middle of working on final exam stuff so it would have been distracting if I had had to start a 20 questions thread at the same time.

Free guess: Ronda Rousey.

Ronda Rousey is the CORRECT answer.

Sincere apologies that my clue regarding the Olympics was not entirely accurate. Her brief appearance at the 2004 Games was not mentioned in the bio I had been looking at.

Well done Spartaculous. Your turn!

Interesting... So either you've missed her or she was born in the USA but represented somewhere else

Rousey competed in 2004 and 2008 fwiw.
