Our very own beloved Olympian gymnast, Farah Ann now has her own Barbie doll, produced by Mattel. The doll dons Farah Ann’s iconic silver-studded leotard in pink, gold and white while rocking jet black hair. The doll is a one-of-a-kind production and it is not available for sale.
As part of Barbie’s “You Can Be Anything” campaign, Farah is among a few Malaysian female athletes chosen as the theme for 2020 is “You Can Be An Athlete” where the brand encourages girls to pursue a path in sports. Farah said, as quoted by Coconuts,
“I am very honored to be recognized as a Barbie role model for young girls for sports. I believe that all of us are capable in achieving our dreams and goals no matter what it may be. You just need to remember that self-belief is your greatest weapon in achieving anything.”
Apart from Farah Ann, Mattel has also chosen squash champion Nicol Ann David, Olympic diver Leong Mun Yee, bowler Shahlin Zulkifli, and speed skater Anja Chong to be the role models for this year’s theme.
