KOTA KINABALU: Since two years ago, former bodybuilder Joyce Heng Shu Xia has been actively going around in and out of the country to enter strongwoman competitions. The 32-year-old from Penampang previously started with international bodybuilding competitions but decided to change into strength athletics as there were more events held for this type of sport. She finally entered an international strongwoman competition in Johannesburg, South Africa, in May last year, and came third in the Arnold Classic Africa leg. She also entered competitions in Thailand, Brunei and Indonesia this year, where she also emerged victorious. During the previous South Africa competition, she also ended up getting accommodations via "Couchsurfing".
