[Edit this paragraph] Gymnastic Princess-Khorkina

Khorkina is the undisputed queen in her field, and her athletic performance is also the best in the ranking. She has been outstanding and beautiful for many years, and her noble temperament has broken countless hearts.

"She is really a lovely and charming girl ..." Her coach Pilkin said, and then smiled cunningly. "But she will win! If she fails-she will be pardoned! " Fortunately, this slightly wayward darling doesn't often lose the battle. "Fortunately, Khorkina is not only a gymnast. She can break through obstacles in various situations and let herself play the biggest role in gymnastics. " Her hairstyle needs more retouching; She is 20 centimeters taller than most competitors on average. In recent years, Belarusians have been the "noble queen" of rhythmic gymnastics in acrobatics. At the 2000 Olympic Games, she and her most competitive teammate elena produnova won two important competitions: the 2000 World Star Tournament and the Russian All-around Championship. At that time, all the record holders in Europe were working hard for the world championship to be held in Paris in May 2000. "It is very, very important for me to win this game, because it is related to whether I can participate in the upcoming Olympic Games in Sydney." Khorkina spoke frankly at the post-match press conference in Paris. Four gold medals-this is the most successful competition in her career! In Sydney, Khorkina made two mistakes in the uneven bars competition, but still qualified for the finals, and finally won the gold medal in uneven bars gymnastics and the silver medal in floor exercise. At Ghent 200 1, she won the individual all-around champion for the second time, becoming the first "Pegasus champion" in history. However, after winning three championships in Pettre, she failed to win any prizes in Debrecen, Hungary in 2002. But in 2003, in Anaheim, California, she won the individual all-around gold medal for the third time. Therefore, Khorkina became the best gymnast in history. Khorkina's planned performance at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games will bring his career to a successful conclusion.

The 18 edition of Chutian Metropolis Daily dated 65438+February 65438+June 2007 published the following news:

Russian Khorkina was elected as a member of parliament.

Jingchu News (Chutian Metropolis Daily) According to China News Service 12, 15, Khorkina, the queen of Russian gymnastics, was elected as a member of the State Duma of the "United Russia" party on 14. She said that in the future, it will play a bridge role between the government and the people, between young people and sports.

Khorkina, known as the Ice Beauty, won 12 gold medals in various international gymnastics competitions, and once took nude photos for Playboy. He is an idol worshipped by the younger generation in Russia.

Khorkina: She surpassed gymnastics.

(The author of this article is Jia Dongting, taken from the seventeenth issue of Readers in 2008)

"I looked around, but now I can't find any shiny gymnasts. These little girls don't have my experience, my maturity, and the joy I have dedicated to the audience. "

-Khorkina's self-declaration.

Indeed, Khorkina let gymnastics surpass the outcome, surpass the technology and become an art. People said, "Khorkina is not an athlete, she is an excellent actress."

PART. 1 becomes Svitlana.

Twenty-nine years ago, this thin girl born in Belgorod was named "Svitlana", which means "light" in Russian.

According to China's zodiac sign, she is a sheep, and the constellation is Capricorn, and "sheep" means stubborn in Russian. Khorkina told me with a smile, perhaps because of the "double sheep", she was particularly stubborn since she was a child, as naughty as a boy, and never refused to sit quietly. My mother's biggest headache is picky eaters. It is for this reason that she was sent to the gym by her mother when she was four years old. I hope she can consume a lot of energy after learning gymnastics, and stop moping after breakfast. But the mother would never have thought that her daughter found her true love in these simple gymnastics equipment rooms.

When the first coach saw 4-year-old Khorkina, he shook his head. This little girl is one head taller than her peers, which is by no means an advantage in gymnastics. Since the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games, American gymnast Leiden, who is short in stature and strong in explosive force and known as the "small steel gun", has won the all-around championship of women's gymnastics with a blockbuster, and women's gymnastics has begun to develop in a difficult and masculine direction. After that, in order to get high scores in the competition, countries all over the world turned to looking for short-shot seedlings in material selection to improve the difficulty of action. Height and long legs mean insufficient waist and abdomen strength, slow rotation speed, poor stability and difficulty in exercise.

Belgorod is not a key development area of gymnastics, and the training conditions are very poor. Even uneven bars are made of wood. Due to the shortage of funds, the equipment is in disrepair. Khorkina said that once she had just climbed the uneven bars when a thick stick fell. Winter conditions are more difficult, gymnastics management is chilly, and athletes have to rub their hands before training.

Until the age of seven, Khorkina met a famous coach, boris Pilkin, at an audition in his hometown. Khorkina still remembers that day: "He asked me if I was afraid of him, and I said yes. He asked why, and I said because your eyebrows are the same as those of an owl. " He smiled, and since then, the master and the apprentice have never been separated. Pilkin discovered Khorkina's uniqueness: she only needs to demonstrate once, and she can learn an action in a few hours, and she is beautiful and elegant. He began to spend his energy on shaping this skinny and stubborn little girl, and he looked forward to some kind of miracle.

Even in the women's gymnastics world where short athletes were the majority at that time, another successful model appeared, that is, Bojinskaya. In the early days of Khorkina's gymnastics career, this name occupied a unique position in her mind. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the gymnastics queen from Belarus won three Olympic gold medals, five world gold medals, 1 World Cup gold medals and nine European gold medals, and was called "the invincible Bojinskaya". Coincidentally, she has the same name as Khorkina: Svetlana; The same height: 1.64 meters, stands out among many short female gymnasts; They are both beautiful and domineering, and are known as "ballet stars in gymnastics".

"We are all tall, feminine and beautiful, and we all have a pursuit of power." Khorkina said. The initial stage of Khorkina's gymnastics career is also the glorious period of Bojinskaya.

The national team finally wants Khorkina to open its doors. Coach Pierce has always convinced her that height is her advantage. "At first, I was just a pole with a low sense of balance, but I had a magical coach who knew how to create another form of gymnastics." Khorkina described her coach Pierce to me in a respectful tone: "He made me confident not with words but with actions, which made me feel very interesting, made me feel the most beautiful, and the actions he designed for me were also the most complicated. Nobody wants us to be so creative. We decorate gymnastics clothes together, such as on the chest and waist, to make me look more radiant. "

1994, Khorkina participated in the international competition for the first time. /kloc-at the age of 0/5, she shattered people's doubts about her height with a silver medal in the European Championship. Then, at the 3 1 World Gymnastics Championships held in Japan the following year, she completed the "Mar Kailov" vault. Previously, no one believed that female athletes could do this. Recalling the joy of winning for the first time, Khorkina said, "I feel the world is at my feet. I want to win, whenever and wherever. " She began to strive for victory and enjoy it. More important than victory, Khorkina surpassed the traditional concept of gymnastics: she proved that gymnastics is a sport that can be maintained for a long time, and there is no need to retire at the age of 17. She also changed people's views on the figure of female gymnasts. Tall gymnasts can still perform complex aerial spins.

Emotional world

Russian star Khorkina, known as the "gymnastics queen", gave birth to a baby boy in Los Angeles in September 2005. Khorkina once admitted in front of the media that he was in love with the Georgian actor Uchineshvili, who lives in the United States. Recently, the media broke a surprising news: Uchineshvili is not the biological father of the child, but the father of the child is actually a married man.

Romantically meet a bold middle-aged man

Khorkina is the pride of Russia and a legend in the world gymnastics. She is a well-deserved "gymnastics queen". At the same time, Khorkina, with distinctive personality, led the Russian gymnastics world with excellent results, and at the same time, began to perform drama. In Vinouse, Khorkina first partnered with the Georgian actor Uchineshvili who lives in the United States.

In the summer of 2002, Khorkina, who is already the vice president of Russian Gymnastics Association, participated in the annual Moscow Olympic Games. At the annual meeting, Khorkina met a man who influenced her life.

At the cocktail party at the end of the annual meeting, a handsome middle-aged man suddenly appeared beside Khorkina: "You are more excited to wear a skirt than a gymnastics suit." Before she could react, the other party handed over a cocktail: "I would be very honored if I could attend." Khorkina is no stranger to this bold man. As a young Russian rich man, 42-year-old Shu Buschi likes sports very much, so he maintains a good relationship with the Olympic Committee. Khorkina knew that the young rich man had married a famous Russian meritorious actor. Although they always appear politely in public, their marriage often appears in newspapers.

Khorkina is not interested in the family life of this man who is nearly 20 years older than himself. She's just being polite. She didn't refuse to talk to him. But Shubuqi can't forget this beautiful girl.

Tears of joy, spoony rich people impress ice beauty

As a rich man, Shu Butch leads an enviable life. His wife Glagoleva is a famous Russian meritorious actress. After marriage, they had a daughter, 10 years old. However, Glagoleva is eight years older than Shu Buschi. In the face of his elderly wife, Shubuqi often sighs.

Shu doesn't know when Khorkina became his gathering place. He collected almost all the live games and related materials in Khorkina. As long as time permits, he will take pains to follow and watch Khorkina's game. That beautiful girl, only seen from a distance, infiltrated Shu Buqi's soul imperceptibly. Khorkina is outstanding, but Shubuqi is not idle. He doesn't want to be regarded as a buzzing fly by the arrogant Khorkina. Besides keeping in touch as friends, Shubuqi is also waiting for an opportunity.

From June, 5438 to October, 2003, Khorkina will take part in the competition in new york, and Shubuqi and others have a golden opportunity. The day after the game happened to be Khorkina's 24th birthday. Shu Butch, who never showed up, quietly sent a bunch of roses to Khorkina's room. Then he called Khorkina, "If you can come tonight, I will give you a surprise for your birthday."

That night, Khorkina went to a fancy restaurant on Seventh Avenue in new york alone. Khorkina was taken to the center of the restaurant by the waiter. To her surprise, there were no other diners in the restaurant, only a pianist was playing Russian music. In an instant, Khorkina suddenly realized that the music played by the pianist was actually the background music she chose in countless floor exercises.

While Khorkina was intoxicated with the music, Shu Butch quietly walked beside her, "Happy birthday! My queen. " With blessings, Shu Busch gave Khorkina a beautifully bound gift. This is a picture book, with air tickets and admission tickets on different dates on every page. Khorkina soon realized that this was every game he had experienced since 2000. In other words, when he is on the court, that person always looks at him silently from a distance. "My God!" Khorkina was shocked. Looking at these well-preserved banknotes and a jade medal inlaid with diamonds in the photo album, Khorkina's eyes were moist. The diamond jade brand is engraved with the portrait of Khorkina, surrounded by exquisite and bright diamonds.

I really hope to have a baby for you.

Khorkina, the gymnastics queen known as the "Ice Beauty", finally fell in love. Since then, people have often seen Khorkina and Shu Butch going in and out of some public places in pairs. Because the two sides made no secret of each other's friendship, all the media speculated occasionally, but they still couldn't find any out-of-line details.

August 22nd, 2004 is a black memory for Khorkina. This is the last Olympic Games in Khorkina 10. She said in an interview before the game, "I want to end my gymnastics career as an Olympic champion and retire with the last gold medal."

But Khorkina never imagined that a few minutes later, she fell from her best uneven bars, and her dream of winning three consecutive Olympic titles was shattered. As the world media reported "the tragic ending of Khorkina" in succession, in a hotel in Athens, Khorkina was crying on Shubuqi's shoulder. "I failed, and now I feel that I have nothing." "You still have me, and I will always be yours."

Khorkina didn't let Shu Butch finish: "I never thought I would be your wife. I have only one request for you. I hope to give birth to a child for you and hope that he can continue my love for you. " Shu Busch was moved by Khorkina's request. In February 2005, Khorkina found herself pregnant.

The United States hired a stuntman for10 million dollars.

After learning that Khorkina was pregnant, Shu Busch fell into a kind of perplexed depression: if the media knew about Khorkina's pregnancy, they would definitely trace the father of the child, so it would be difficult for them to hide their love affair with Khorkina. Khorkina is well aware of Shubuqi's concern. She just lost the game. If the news of cheating or even pregnancy breaks out again, it will definitely affect her later life, and Schubsch will also lose her family and children. "Find a father for your child?" They finally agreed on the most suitable method.

With a certain idea, Khorkina began to look for a man who might be the father of the child. It was at this time that Youqin Neshvili was locked in the brain by Khorkina. Uchineshvili is a Georgian actor living in the United States. He appeared in many popular films, including Independence Day, Air Force One and oscar pistorius. Khorkina met Uchineshvili while performing the drama Wine. Khorkina knew that Uchineshvili was the most suitable father. The 47-year-old Uchineshvili is single, and his star status is enough to make people believe that he is the father of the child, especially since they have worked together for a long time.

Soon, Khorkina went to the United States to find Uchineshvili. She said to Uchineshvili, "If you promise to play this role and keep it a secret, you will get a reward of $654.38+$00,000."

Uchineshvili didn't refuse. For an actor, he doesn't care what kind of role he plays, let alone the high salary of this role.

Two weeks later, Khorkina and Uchineshvili openly fell in love and arranged the story of meeting and falling in love when they performed a drama on the same stage in 2002. They even asked reporters to take pictures of them kissing. In September 2005, Khorkina gave birth to a son in Los Angeles.

Love and hate are hard to regret. The gymnastics queen tasted the bitter fruit alone.

According to the agreement, Uchineshvili received a reward of $6.5438+0 million, and Khorkina, who has become a mother, is very happy.

In 2005, on Christmas Eve, Khorkina returned to Russia. The purpose of her trip is to bring her 4-month-old son to his biological father and show him the crystallization of their love. But Shubuqi didn't come to see her, but told her that it was not convenient for him to see them in order not to arouse others' suspicion.

After only a few days, Khorkina left Russia with his son and returned to Los Angeles. Shubuqi didn't break his word and soon appeared in front of her. What Khorkina didn't expect was that Shubuqi actually brought her a shocking decision: "The domestic media have long rumored that the child is not Uchineshvili's own, and I believe they will find out soon." Khorkina seems to understand what Shubuqi wants to say. She looked at the strange man who suddenly appeared with a surprised expression. "I also have to go. You tell Uchineshvili that if he promises to marry you and admit the child, I will give him another $654.38+00,000. "

Khorkina didn't expect Shubuqi to escape one day. She felt sad from the bottom of her heart: "You are free. You don't owe me anything, nor do you owe the children. "

Cut off contact with Shubuqi, and Khorkina is ready to live according to his own lifestyle. However, the ubiquitous media reporters still observed Khorkina's abnormality, and the Russian media soon showed doubts about his child's biological father. Russian Express reporters have a keen sense of smell, and they even went to the United States to investigate. After collecting conclusive evidence, on March 4th, 2006, Express reported the extramarital affair between Khorkina and Shubuqi and the million-dollar farce of renting a husband.

Once the news was announced, it immediately caused a sensation in Russia. When the reporter asked Khorkina the truth, the gymnastics queen made no excuses. She just calmly told everyone: "I gave birth to a child only for myself, and others have nothing to do with me!" "

Khorkina, a woman who created a miracle in sports with her own ability, is now hiding behind the public. She needs time to fill the pain in her heart, especially the child without a father in her arms. She needs time for him to grow up healthily. (Excerpted from Wen Wei Po)
