So, a few years ago someone already made a list of Olympians in MMA, but that list is very outdated. I would like to make a list with athletes that competed in the Olympics, the year they competed, the sport they competed in, how well they did and the (main) organization they compete(d) in. If you know anyone, post them so I can include them in the list.
