Female bodybuilder with one leg captures hearts in China

Gui Yuna

Shanghai, Thursday: Tears fill Gui Yuna's eyes as she describes losing her right leg in a road accident aged seven and school bullies kicking away her crutch to make her fall.

But they would not dare do that now -- the 35-year-old is a prize-winning bodybuilder and former Paralympian whose inspirational story has gone viral in China.

Gui, who competed in long jump at the 2004 Athens Paralympics, is new to bodybuilding but won the first time she competed in October.

Images of her strutting on stage in a high-heel shoe and bikini -- all while leaning on her crutch -- featured heavily in Chinese media and won her a sizeable online following. AFP
