One-third of the contestants in China’s first body-building contest for women had university degrees or the equivalent, according to the chairman of the Judges. Praising the 57 bikiniclad competitors, he said the contest showed that “the women of China, after thousands of years of imbibing traditional feudalists thinking, are opening their minds.” Thousands of Chinese and more than 300 foreign and local reporters crowded a gymnasium at Shenzhen, near Hong Kong, to watch the contestants flex their muscles to the music of Michael Jackson and Tina Turner.
