Sarah Bäckman Biography
Sarah Backman was born on the 8th day of December 1991 in Stockholm, Sweden. This means that she is currently 33 years old. As per her racial status, she is Swedish by nationality and belongs to the white ethnic group.
Her journey into becoming one of the biggest faces in the wrestling world began at a very tender age. She started as an arm wrestler at the age of 14. All through her arm wrestling career, she has conquered the world, Europe, and her home country as champion. She won the world arm wrestling championship 8 times, the European arm wrestling championship 8 times, and won the Swedish arm wrestling championship for a record 11 times.
After her streak of winning records in the arm wrestling championships, she decided to retire in 2013 to pursue another career. She signed with WWE to enable her to pursue a wrestling career where she was given her ring name as Shara.
As if that wasn’t enough for her to be a wrestler, she played the role of Gladiator “spirits” on the Swedish version of Gladiators (Gladiatorerna) which airs on TV4 replacing “Stinger” which was portrayed by Cajsa Nilsson.
It is now very obvious that the former darling of the arm wrestling championship is very ambitious. This is because she has been dipping her hands in different fields of endeavor- from an arm wrestler to becoming a WWE wrestler.
