AMAZIAN OF THE WEEK! Clarissa Chun
Hails from: Hawaii
Occupation: Olympic wrestler
Known for: At 4’11″ and 105 lbs., being the smallest U.S. Olympian; scoring a major upset at the Olympic Trials this month by beating Patricia Miranda, whom the 26 year-old Chun lost to at the 2004 Trials (and who went on to win the bronze in Athens); making those weird wrestling singlets look bitchin’ and putting a cute face on a badass, butch sport.
Somebody give homegirl an endorsement already!
