Meg Washam on winning a gold medal, being an underdog, career, and relationships
Imagine only fighting for 3 years, then winning an IFMA gold medal (while never losing a single round) as a walk-on competitor.
For the years I’ve know Meg, I’ve watched her rise in this sport so much faster than people usually do. From the beginning she’s been relentless: When people wouldn’t book her for fights at the beginning of her career, she would do all the dirty work of networking and matchmaking on her own. She’s the only female fighter out of Woodenman Muay Thai, where she trains with some of the best the world.
In the last few weeks, she’s put herself on the map by winning a gold medal at IFMA— despite the fact that she was a walk-on competitor and arguably the biggest underdog in her entire bracket. Not only did she win gold, but she never lost a single round the entire tournament. Straight out of a Rocky movie.
Not only is Meg a hard working and ambitious fighter, but she also balances a career at Google and has even managed to buy and renovate a house in the last couple of years.
