Punch after punch, like hailstones, slammed into the face of the female boxer dressed in black.
It wasn't until she had an asthma attack that the referee rushed forward to terminate the match. The audience applauded and applauded, without the slightest idea of pity for Xiang Xiangyu, and from time to time there were rude scoldings from the crowd, wanting the other party to continue to beat her into a pig's head.
Who is this female boxer? Why is she so hated?
Tanya Harding, the first talented athlete in the history of American figure skating to complete the three-and-a-half-week jump on ice, represented the United States twice in the Winter Olympics. Now, why did she fall back to boxing to make ends meet?
Fast forward to 1994, in the early days of the American Figure Skating Championships, Tanya Harding was nervously preparing for the competition with Nancy, another American figure skater known as the "Ice Princess". As the number one sworn enemy, whoever wins this tournament will be able to represent the United States in the 1994 Norwegian Olympics.
After the training, Nancy wore a white gauze dress and waved goodbye to the audience on stage. The next second, a scream came from the runners' walkway, and by the time the crew arrived, Nancy had collapsed to the ground, her knees struck hard with an iron rod, beckoning a fierce hand, almost scrapped. Nancy cried out in anguish, "Why me! "Attacks on athletes before a game are not uncommon in the United States.
As Nancy's number one competitor, Tanya naturally became the biggest suspect, but Tanya insisted that the matter had nothing to do with her, and said that she had received a threatening letter the day before. The next day, Tanya successfully won the championship and won the Norwegian Winter Olympics.
However, the U.S. Intelligence Agency soon found evidence that Tanya's ex-husband had done the incident. For a time, public opinion was in an uproar, coupled with Tanya's "unclean and unclean" origin, the media one-sidedly determined that Tanya was the mastermind behind the whole incident, and according to her background, she was given a name that echoed the "Ice Princess" "White Garbage".
Tanya was the child of her mother and her fifth husband when she married her fourth husband. That relationship sounds like a lot of winding, right? Simply put, Tanya's mother became pregnant with Tanya when she was with her fourth husband, then divorced when she was still pregnant, and then found the fifth husband of the receiver to marry, and finally gave birth to Tanya.
For Tanya's mother, Tanya is the garbage in her life. However, when Tanya was 3 years old, her mother found that Tanya had a very high talent in skating, so she immediately decided to bet a big bet this time, and the bet was her own daughter.
She approached Diane, a famous Figure Skating Coach in the United States at the time, and sent Tanya, who was only 3 years old, to her, who said she was too young to learn to skate. Her mother motioned for Tanya to go skating on the ice rink, and 10 minutes later, Tanya became Diane's youngest student. Diane later recalled in an interview: "Her talent, a thousand-year encounter. ”
As a bet that she has poured out all her wealth, her mother never treats her as a person when training the genius Tanya, and even if Tanya wants to go to the toilet, she will be categorically rejected by her mother. In order to refresh Tanya and increase the amount of training, she even filled her daughter's kettle with coffee made with whiskey.
Fortunately, skating did not live up to Tanya, only half a year of training, less than four years old Tanya won the first championship in her life, a young age, standing out from the crowd. However, for Tanya, her desperate skating training purpose is only one, that is, to grow up financially independent as soon as possible and then leave this demon.
However, Tanya, who grew up in this environment, is destined to be a young girl who has etched rebellion into her bones.
In 1986, at the age of 16, Tanya entered the U.S. Championships, but unlike other figure skaters who regard figure skating as a noble and elegant sport, Tanya vented all the anger in her heart on the field. When others wear noble and cold swan clothes, she will dress herself up as a young man who kills Matt; others will use melodious and idyllic accompaniment music during the competition, and she will use grumpy rock music, and everything must be done against tradition.
Although Tanya's movements were very smooth in the game, the referee gave the lowest score in the whole game, and when Tanya was not convinced to find the referee's theory, the referee said contemptuously: "Appearance is also one of the scoring criteria."
For these elites in the United States, Tanya, who came from a lowly background, is doomed to represent the United States in the elegant hall of noble figure skating.
At this point, Fate whispered to Tanya, "Give up, you will never be able to defeat the storm!" Tanya turned her head and responded, "I am storm!" ”
In 1991, the national competition, the attention of the public, Tanya's competitor Nancy appeared on the field wearing a designer swan suit, while Tanya's competition suit was a local stall, and even the luminous pieces on the competition uniform were sewn by herself.
But Tanya is not here to win, she is here to create myths. Dancing, wandering, hooking hands, jumping, landing on the ground, opening your arms to welcome applause and shouting.
She did, the first female figure skater in American history to complete three and a half weeks in the air, Tanya Harding. On the field, the applause was like thunder on a sunny day, and after the game, praise came like goose feathers and snow.
However, from then on, fate's favor for this genius came to an abrupt end. In 1990, after Tanya married her first love, she found that this warm little fan was a domestic violence man, Tanya was a skater during the day, and returned home at night to become a fighter.
Tanya, who grew up in a "domestic violence" environment since childhood, thinks this is a very normal thing, when she was a child, her mother beat her with a comb, saying that she loved her, and now her husband hit her with his fist, she also thinks that this is a manifestation of love.
However, all these sins and glories came to an end in the early days of the 1994 American Figure Skating Championships.
Although Tanya was divorced at the time, her ex-husband had invested too much in Tanya, and if Tanya lost to Nancy in the tournament and could not replace the United States for the upcoming Norwegian Winter Olympics, then all his investment would be lost. So he colluded with some idle friends and attacked Nancy with an iron rod at the end of her training, although Tanya managed to win the trophy and qualify for the Olympics.
However, because the ex-husband was quickly arrested because the matter was exposed, and during the interrogation, in order to exonerate, the ex-husband claimed that he was instructed by Tanya, so he poisoned Nancy.
This also made the muzzle of media public opinion immediately aimed at Tanya, and the media gathered around Tanya's door every day, waiting for her to go out. At this time, Tanya's mother appears again in order to extract the last value of her daughter.
After receiving $500,000 in benefits from the media, Tanya's mother came to her daughter's home with a tape recorder hidden in her arms, and Tanya thought that her mother's conscience had found out to comfort herself, but when the sad swan snuggled in her mother's arms for comfort, she heard the sound of the tape recorder motor turning, and she pulled the tape recorder out of her mother's arms, which became the last straw that crushed Tanya.
In a state of double blow to her spirit and life, Tanya arrives at the Olympic stadium in Norway, where she meets Nancy, who is recovering from injury, and her former friend, who is now an end-time enemy, deliberately wearing the white gauze dress she used to be attacked to demonstrate to Tanya.
Media opinion is even more one-sided in attacking Tanya's dirty methods. Under great pressure, Tanya actually made the low-level mistake of not tightening her shoelaces, although she begged the referee to let her change her shoes and start again, but in the end, Tanya only got the eighth place.
Nancy won the silver medal at the Norwegian Olympics and became a veritable ice princess, standing on the podium like a cold swan, proud of her ice and snow kingdom.
Tanya, who had been squeezed out of her last use of value, returned home and was soon indicted by the court over her ex-husband's allegations. Due to the lack of achievements, Tanya also lost the maintenance of the American Figure Skating Association and became an outcast. Although there was no direct evidence that Tanya was behind Nancy's attack, because she could not stand the court trial after trial, Tanya finally admitted that she was the mastermind on the condition of not going to jail.
According to the verdict, Tanya can no longer participate in any figure skating competitions, nor can she engage in any work related to figure skating, which also makes Tanya completely say goodbye to the figure skating sport that has brought her countless glory and aura. Since then, Tanya has begun her own part-time life, a delivery man, a boxer, a maintenance worker, and finally everyone else.
Later, based on Tanya's real events, the American director Craig made a movie "I, Queen of Tricks" to satirize the elite class of the United States, in order to achieve the goal, at the expense of using all dirty means, and after extracting the last bit of value, he immediately ruthlessly abandoned, which is actually different from the current United States in some matters to some other countries?
