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.

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.
