Donna Adamek
Donna Adamek (born February 1, 1957, in Duarte, California) is an American tenpin bowler who was named WIBC Bowler of the Year four times (1978–1981). She competed nationally on the Professional Women's Bowling Association (PWBA) Tour.
Adamek grew up in Monrovia, California, about 14 miles northeast of Los Angeles with her parents and her three older siblings. Adamek was quite small and light, unlike other women bowlers who were a lot taller and heavier than her. Despite this, she was able to use a unique style of bowling and become a four time bowling champion in four continuous years. At the beginning of Adamek's career, due to her small stature, she was given the nickname Mighty Mite that was later replaced with Bionic Bowler.
Donna Adamek currently does not bowl anymore; she now works as a woodworker, remodeler and it has become a love in her life in recent years. In an interview with Dave Williams, Adamek commented that she misses one thing from bowling, which is the ‘traveling bug,’ indicating she misses the traveling parts of bowling. She also visits her number one spot outside California, which is Colorado, where her 5-year-old granddaughter lives.
