American professional women's basketball player with the Minnesota Lynx of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA), Dynamo Kursk and the U.S. national team. A seven-time all-star, Augustus has become one of the most recognizable faces in the WNBA, earning MVP honors while leading the Lynx to the 2011 WNBA championship, the first of four that she has won with the team. She won gold in the Women's basketball team event representing the United States at the Olympic Games in 2008 in Beijing, 2012 in London and 2016 in Rio de Janeiro. In April 2010, Augustus had surgery at Fairview Southdale Hospital to remove fibroids, a surgery that both her mother and grandmother had undergone. While her uterus was removed during the operation, her ovaries were left intact, making children via a gestational surrogate possible. She has said that she wants children someday. Augustus is openly lesbian. She became engaged to LaTaya Varner in 2010, and married her in Hawaii in 2015. Augustus is the cousin of former Mississippi State power forward, Kodi Augustus.
