Elizabeth Smart<\/a> knows that win or lose, it’s how you play the game that counts.<\/p>\n

The child safety advocate, who began a bodybuilding career<\/a> in recent months, reflected on her loss at a competition in an Instagram post<\/a> Saturday, Sept. 5.<\/p>\n

Smart, 38, competed in the National Physique Committee’s North American Championships, which took place in Pittsburgh from Wednesday, Sept. 2 through Saturday, Sept. 5.<\/p>\n

“Another show for the books! Had such a blast,” Smart wrote alongside a video of herself posing onstage in a blue bikini and high heels. “I’ve always said ‘just stepping onstage is a win for me!’ And I completely stand by that.”<\/p>\n
