Sakshi Malik opens up about body image struggles in new memoir

Sakshi Malik, an Olympic bronze medalist wrestler, shared her struggles with body image in her memoir "Witness." She avoided sleeveless clothing due to her muscular arms, which she felt were too prominent compared to other women. Malik described how her rigorous training led to a body shape that differs from typical women's physiques. She noted that while female wrestlers develop strong upper bodies, they often have narrow waists, creating a V-shaped appearance. She recounted receiving comments about her arms from peers, which affected her self-image. Despite recognizing her strength as an asset in wrestling, she often wished for a more traditionally feminine appearance.
