Ronda Rousey is the first American woman to win an Olympic medal in judo. Thanks to the efforts of people like Rusty Kanogoki (see previous blog on Rusty), women’s judo became a demonstration sport at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, South Korea, and a medal sport at the 1992 Olympics held in Barcelona, Spain. Rousey earned her medal a day ago in Beijing, China. Congratulations!
