Meanwhile, speaking of inspirational women, earlier this month, Karenjeet Kaur Bains, 25, set the world record for the most squat lifts of her own body weight in one minute. Ms Karenjeet performed 42 squat lifts of her full weight in a minute. She described breaking the record as "incredible" and expressed hope that it would encourage the new generation to believe that everything is possible if they set their minds to it.
Powerlifting champion Bains began competing at the age of 17 and has won multiple championships in the sport. She is a successful female in a notoriously male-dominated sport, but she is also the first British Sikh female to represent Great Britain in powerlifting, reported Guinness World Records.
