Chun Makes Olympic Team

Congratulations to Clarissa Chun who made the 2008 U.S. Olympic Women’s Team. Clarissa was able to step up and sweep the competition in the Olympic Trials at UNLV’s Thomas and Mack Center. The sweep included a defeat of the heavily favored 2004 Olympic bronze medalist Patricia Miranda. With a whole lot of hard work, heart and determination she will be representing the United States in Beijing for the 2008 Olympics. So congratulations and good luck Clarissa from all of us at the Colorado Fight Factory!

About Clarissa Chun

My name is Clarissa Chun. I recently made the 2008 U.S. Olympic Team for womens wrestling in the 48 kilogram weight class. Earning a spot on the U.S. Olympic Team has meant more to me than anything else. I couldn’t have done it without the support of my family, friends, and especially my coaches. They have truly helped me get to the top by believing in my potential to acheive my dreams in wrestling.

I am of half Chinese, half Japanese decent. Therefore, this Olympic season in Beijing is very special to my family as well as myself. It would be very nice to be able to bring my family to where our ancestors came from and would definitely bring this journey full circle for all of them.
