A Photo and its story

Hello everyone! This blog is about my favourite photo and I chose this great photo...

This iconic photo was taken by photographer Boris Minkevich, who captured the exact shot showing ice figure skater Tonya Harding crying out to the judges to give her a second chance at her routine as her cord untied at the Olympic games in Lillehammer, Norway in 1994.

I like this photo too much because since I saw the movie "I Tonya" I was interested in finding out more about the life of this athlete, besides that at the time this photo was captured Tonya was going through one of the worst moments of her life: she was blamed for breaking the leg of her skating rival Nancy Kerrygan which caused her to be suspended forever from the United States Figure Skating Association.

Finally, the culprit of breaking Nancy's leg was not Tonya, it was her ex-husband who sent a friend to perform this feat and so, make his ex-wife to be the champion in the skating of the Winter Olympics in 1994.

Thanks for reading this blog! :)
