I'm not a big fan of the Athena OR the Clydesdale appelation. Where did they get Athena from? I mean, in mythology she was a virginal goddess but always resolutely fit - so why would her name be used for large-size female athletes?

You can fairly call me an amazon, though - but not because I'm a fat girl (which I am), but because I'm 6' or taller.

When I was boxing, I was "that d**ned valkyrie" to some of the other girls
