BUDAPEST, Hungary (Oct. 16, 2004) - Ronda Rousey of Santa Monica, Calif., became just the second American to win the Junior World Championships with her victory over Jing Jing Mao of China in the women's 63 kilogram category in Budapest Hungary.

"This is just unbelievable," said Rousey of her win. "Coming off the Olympics, I was a little disappointed, but I put that behind me and focused all my energy on today and it all paid off. I'm just so happy right now."

I also play judo and I have personally seen Ronda in a touranment. I have learned a lot from watching her fight and it had helped me to become a stronger judoka!
