Elisa Au (original) (raw)

Elisa Au is the most decorated American karate athlete of all time. She is the only female athlete in the history of the sport to claim gold medals in two individual events at the same world championship (2004).

After suffering an ACL injury and surgery in 2018, Elisa made yet another comeback and is currently competing worldwide in hopes of achieving her Olympic dream. She is also a real estate agent in the Chicagoland area, public speaker and entrepreneur.
