She will be heading to the world Classic Powerlifting Championship in Sweden in June to represent Great Britain. The 22-years-old is going to be the first Sikh woman to compete for Britain.

Karenjeet says to BBC, ‘I am very proud of my heritage and my culture and my roots. I also would love to try and open floodgates up to having even more diverse people on the platform.’

‘I know I am the first one, but I don’t want to be the last for sure’, she adds.
