--Khorkina

Now athletes not only have career fans but also face value fans, thanks to social media, this Olympic Games, many Chinese athletes and girls appeared on the field "flowers and branches", showing the other side of talent.
On July 23, 2021, local time, Tokyo, Japan, the preview of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, the training of the Chinese women's water polo team was carried out.
But in the early years, when everyone talked about the Olympic gods, most of them were blonde and blue-eyed beauties in Russia and Eastern Europe.
When I was a child, the recognized "gymnastics ice beauty" was Khorkina, and in those years she watched her dance on the ice, her blonde hair, blue eyes, and tall figure, she was the biggest Internet celebrity in the gymnastics industry in that era.
Khorkina won 57 gold medals in her lifetime, but her love story after retiring from the army has ups and downs, climaxes, Khorkina has lived a wonderful life in this life!
Let's talk about her story today!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="12" ></h1>
Svetlana Khorkina was born in Russia in 1979.
Her parents named her "Khorkina," which means light in Russian.
Khorkina's Chinese genus is sheep, and girls who belong to sheep are usually said to have a hard life.
The main reason is that people who belong to sheep are very stubborn.
Khorkina grew up as a picky eater, with big ideas, not to eat a bite of food, and to make trouble like a boy all day.
Khorkina's old mother was also worried.
Once, her friend gave her an idea: "Why not let Khorkina try gymnastics and get a sport, and her excess energy will be vented, and she will eat well." ”
Khorkina's old mother was moved and sent Khorkina to gymnastics school in a discharged manner.
Who knew that Khorkina had fallen in love with gymnastics.
Khorkina's body type is not the size of a traditional gymnast, her legs are long, and the coach said that she was "thin and tall, like a bamboo leaf", and hearing this evaluation, Khorkina's stubborn temper was committed again.
"My personality is that if I want something, I want to reach my goal even if I cross the mountains, so I am an ambitious, hard-working ugly duckling." Every time we play a game or a sports game, I compete for the first place. ”
Her competitive personality makes her extra hard in her practice.
The gymnastics hall facilities in her hometown were outdated and the equipment had fallen into disrepair, and once she had just climbed the high and low bars and one of the bars fell off.
In winter, there is no heating, the gymnastics gym is too cold, and the children have to constantly rub their hands and feet to keep warming.
At the age of seven, the famous Russian coach Pilkin came to pick people.
He asked Khorkina, "Are you afraid of me?" Khorkina said, "Yes, your eyebrows are the same as owls." ”
Pilkin found the girl very interesting, and he liked her very much, so Khorkina was chosen by Pilkin.
This skinny, stubborn little girl has a special aura, no matter what the action, as long as she demonstrates it, she can learn it in a few hours.
Coupled with the particularly elegant gymnastics she made, Pilkin vaguely felt that in the general trend of short, explosive gymnasts at that time, Khorkina might become a breakout.
However, at this time, Khorkina entered adolescence, and her personality was more rebellious.
She has good grades but is extremely low-cooperating, and she is a difficult student.
Later, in her memoirs, Khorkina wrote:
"As I get older, especially during adolescence, it's often he says east and I prefer to do west.
I felt like my wings were hard, but in reality I was far from mature. Looking back on my mistakes and failures now, it can be said that they are the consequences of not listening to the coach and doing it against the coach. ”
It was Coach Pilkin who saw the pearls and treated her with the same heart as he taught her daughter.
"He made me believe that height was my advantage, at the beginning I was just a badly balanced pole, he made me confident with his actions and made me believe that I was the most beautiful."
At the age of 15, Khorkina took her to the European Championships with the gymnastics suit specially designed and decorated for her by coach Pilkin.
Participating in international competitions for the first time, Khorkina won the silver medal. At the 31st World Gymnastics Championships in Japan the following year, she completed the Marchelov.
Khorkina is the one who changed history and made it. Debut is the peak, two silver medals proclaim the arrival of the "Khorkina era"!
Before her, no one admired tall gymnasts, no one believed that female athletes could accomplish so many difficult moves, and she used her own example to break the myth that gymnasts would retire at the age of 17.
Khorkina's career is about to set sail, and she feels that "the world is under my feet, and I want to win, whenever and wherever." ”

1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta.
Our gymnastics princess Liu Xuan and Khorkina met.
In that year's high and low bar preliminaries, Liu Xuan successfully passed the preliminary round through the self-created high and low bar one-arm giant slalom to catch Jinggel's flip, but because the difficulty coefficient of the action was too large, and it was possible to cause damage to the woman's body, the next day the INTERNATIONAL Sports Federation cancelled it, and Liu Xuan fell from the first place to the ninth place.
When it came to the gymnastics team competition, Liu Xuan just started the high and low bar action within a few seconds and then mistakenly fell to the ground to score 0 points, when the whole team scored more than 8.9 points in each event, and finally the Chinese team scored 385, only winning the fourth place.
The gold medalist in both the uneven bars and team events that year was Khorkina, and she achieved a landmark victory that year.
Khorkina returned to the country and was welcomed by thousands of people, and the scenery was unlimited.
In 1997, she won the World Championships in the individual all-around.
At that time, Khorkina was the world's brightest gymnastics star.
And Liu Xuan's defeat, back to the country a scolding, let her almost collapse, depressed mood, Liu Xuan later recalled: "That was a devastating failure", "I almost can't retreat." ”
Sydney Olympics, 2000.
Khorkina and Liu Xuan met again.
Before playing, Liu Xuan used two words: "See death as a homecoming, there is no way back."
Khorkina's face was full of confidence and predestination, and her far ahead in the preliminaries made her feel that no one in the world could beat her.
But history is always strikingly similar.
In the vaulting race, Khorkina lost her balance and fell the moment she landed, and this fall also made the all-around gold medal that was almost in hand disappear.
Embraced by her sister, she couldn't stop crying. "After my knee hit the ground, I felt a pain in my heart, and I felt that I was going to lose everything."
A post-race check of the equipment revealed that the vaulting horse was set incorrectly, but the stubborn Khorkina refused to jump again.
At the Sydney Olympics, Khorkina did not win all the gold medals as she expected.
She won the gold medal on the uneven bars, and Liu Xuan took the gold medal in the balance beam.
One of them is slender and elegant, and the other is balanced and agile.
They are rivals on the field, and off the field, they are friends.
After returning to China, Liu Xuan retired from the army. Khorkina did something big.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="54" > three</h1>
She went to make Men's Clothes (the Russian version of Playboy).
Khorkina said: "The 1996 Olympics in Atlanta were when my dream began to come true, and I was immersed in happiness, an absolute happiness. In Sydney in 2000, it was another victory, a victory over the ego, a psychological victory. ”
With this mood, she chose to appear sexy in "Men's Clothing".
Reporters rushed up to Khorkina and asked, "Have you hesitated for a long time about whether to take photos of this style?" ”
"I've grown up, and if my beautiful photos give people the pleasure of beauty, then why don't I agree with them?" I wouldn't be shy about that. ”
In 2002, at the age of 23, Khorkina, who held more than 20 world-class competition medals, fell in love.
At the annual Olympic meeting in Moscow that summer, Khorkina was sitting alone on the balcony when a well-mannered man came up and said, "You're much more charming in a dress than in a gymnastics suit." ”
Like the opening statement of a love movie, it is a pity that it did not impress Khorkina.
The man was more than 20 years older than Khorkina, mature and sophisticated, a young Russian rich man, a married man, his wife and a well-known Actor with a head and a face, and the two had a 10-year-old daughter.
After a short reception, we went our separate ways.
A year later, Khorkina went to New York to compete, and it happened to be her birthday.
After the game, she received a handful of roses with an address attached and a phone call: "If you're willing to come, there will be surprises." ”
People always make special decisions on certain special days.
Perhaps curious, or perhaps lonely, Khorkina arrived alone at a fine dining restaurant on Seventh Avenue in New York.
There are no other customers in the whole restaurant, the piano music is flowing quietly, and the background music used by Khorkina during the competition is played...
At this time, Shubski appeared.
He didn't say anything, just handed Khorkina a souvenir book.
Khorkina opened stunned, and it was plastered with tickets and tickets to the game.
That was all the competitions Khorkina had played since 2000.
That is, the man had been silently watching her follow her for three full years.
She was impressed.
Ice beauty melts, passionate as fire.
In 2004, Khorkina, who participated in the Athens Olympics, had no intention of fighting.
Her competitive form dropped considerably, and in the all-around gymnastics event, she lost to American Carly for silver.
Retire after the game and enjoy falling in love.
Soon, Khorkina became pregnant.
This story has the beginning of a clichéd romance, the progression of the idol drama, but the end of an absurd drama.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="73" > four</h1>
Khorkina insisted on giving birth to the child, but men with families and rooms could not.
He figured out a way to get the Hollywood actor Yuchinnessevli and promise him a million dollars to impersonate the father of khorkina's bellied child.
Yuchinnessvili agreed.
So, in 2005, Khorkina and the "acting school" Yuchinnessvili officially declared a relationship.
They also made up the whole story, acting like the real thing.
In September of the same year, Khorkina gave birth to a son.
But Hollywood paparazzi are not vegetarians, and the whole story is quickly pulled out, Shubsky denies it, and Khorkina says quietly:
"I don't have a husband, I'm not married. But when you run into someone you love and he loves you very much, you can have a baby for him. I like the father of the child, he is a very good man. That's all I can say. ”
After that, the two completely cut off contact. Khorkina generously appeared in front of everyone with her son, and in the face of all kinds of criticism, she said:
"I have children just for myself and have nothing to do with anyone else."
Shubsky's wife, from beginning to end, did not have any sense of existence.
In 2007, when her son was two years old, Khorkina turned to politics.
After retiring from the army, she worked as a model, photographed the cover, and lived at her own pace, with an innate stubbornness.
In 2011, Khorkina married, and her husband Oleg Kochniev was 23 years older than her. be
Director of Services of the General Customs Service of the Northwestern Russia, mainly responsible for drug control, with the rank of General.
In 2019, at the age of 40, Khorkina had another son, and this year her eldest son was 14 years old.
Her appearance is completely different from when she was young, and she is the style of a mature woman, and the only constant is that confidence.
"My idol has always been myself."
PS: Guess someone might come to scold Xiao San? Xiaobian has always been that men who engage in extramarital affairs are ten thousand times more hateful than Xiao San. Of course, if you don't agree, your opinion will prevail.
