Click here to see an interview with Malaysian collegiate bodybuilder Kimberley Chai Wan Xian in The Star of Malaysia. In the interview, Ms Chai says:
Q: Somehow, there is a lingering perception that bodybuilding, a sport dominated by males, is not suitable for girls. Have you ever encounter problems because of this stereotype?
A: I used to get many funny stares whenever I approach the weights section in my gym, which is frequented by more men than women. It used to make me feel inferior, especially when I was lifting much lighter weights compared to my male counterparts.
Sometimes, there are people who'd come up to me and ask me why I would want to have “big and ugly” muscles! But I believe that beauty is subjective.
Today, I believe being a female bodybuilder and a member of the minority has made me different, and that is something I am proud of.
How about that for an answer?
