Finally her mother decided to put her in a gymnastics school and that made her very happy.
She excelled at the national level at the tender age of 16 years. She went through strict physical training for about almost 8 years, and it makes her what she is today. To her, the only 2 things that are important are her education and fitness. These are the fields in which she excels. In these fields she was also considered as somebody one could look up to. Like all other athletes, her one and only dream was the Olympics. She did not want anything more than participating and winning in the Olympic Games. Following this dream she secured a position in theTop 10 IFBB Ms Fitness Olympia 2009.
But eventually, she started having health complications which forced her to retire from this profession. One of her best friends decided that she could not sit at home this way and sulk. She forced her to join the gym and do minimal and easy exercises. Thanks to her friend, she discovered the wonderful sport of fitness. Soon a trainer noticed Myriam Capes and her potential and asked her if she would be interested in participating in a fitness competition. She was more than willing and she was only waiting to begin.
