KUCHING: Sarawak’s strongwoman Husnul Khatimah Wajidi will attempt to deadlift a car on Sunday at Sarawak Plaza at 2pm.
The event is an effort to create awareness of the sport and raise funds for Husnul to compete in the Static Monster World Championships in Gold Coast, Australia on May 20.
Last October, Husnul, 39, qualified for the championships where only the top 10 athletes from all over the world are selected from each bodyweight category.
“It is an opportunity for me to get ranked among the top athletes worldwide, which has always been my dream and I am truly grateful that Sarawak Plaza has offered to host this crowdfunding event,” said Husnul.
Having a Level 1 Certificate in CrossFit, she also competes in other fitness events and powerlifting, but has recently focused more on the strongwoman discipline.
The single mother of one started her fitness journey at CrossFit Kuching in 2013 and is the only strong
woman athlete qualifying from Malaysia.
Sunday’s event is open to the public and sports fans are encouraged to support Husnul’s extraordinary attempt.
