The 38-year-old mother of three confessed that a few years ago, that there was no way you would ever see her in a bodybuilding contest. She admits to being \u201cworried that I would be judged, not taken seriously.\u201d Her concern in part was that people would feel she was unworthy to continue her advocacy work.<\/p>\n<p>Elizabeth made national news in the US after her abduction at knifepoint in 2002 at 14. Police rescued her in Sandy, Utah, in March 2003. Her story became a TV movie titled The Elizabeth Smart Story, which premiered that same year.<\/p>\n<p>The mother of three notes that this was a big change for her, pushing and challenging her to never give up. She says that her body has carried her through the most gruelling days. Elizabeth noted how \u201ceerily familiar these feelings and thoughts are for too many survivors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reality TV fans might remember her from The Masked Dancer, competing as Moth in 2021. She went out in the third episode of the series. In 2017, she narrated and produced a made-for-TV movie called I Am Elizabeth Smart. It tells the story of her kidnapping from her perspective. In January Netflix released a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/2026\/01\/21\/netflix-kidnapped-who-took-elizabeth-smart\/\">true crime documentary<\/a> about her abduction called Kidnapped: Elizabeth Smart.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TELL US \u2013 HOW IMPRESSED WERE YOU BY ELIZABETH SMART\u2019S BODYBUILDING PICTURE?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/2026\/04\/22\/elizabeth-smart-bodybuilding-competition-photos-reaction\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is more to Elizabeth Smart than meets the eye.
