Actress Margot Robbie will play a major role in the biopic "I, Tonia"

The talented blonde Margot Robbie, who vividly showed herself in the films "Wolf from Wall Street" and "Focus", will try her skills in a new genre - in a biographical drama. The directors entrusted her with the responsible role of a far from unequivocal personality, athletes Tony Harding. The film titled "I, Tonia" will tell filmgoers an extraordinary story of a dizzying take-off and no less than a loud fall of an athlete.

Did not calculate the forces?

In the cruel world of big sport dramatic stories happen, but even those who saw much in their time reporters were shocked by what had happened. In 1994, at the Olympics in Lillehammer, Canada, a tragedy occurred: the American figure skater Nancy Kerrigan was badly beaten. The girl with a baseball bat was attacked by her husband Tony Harding, a direct competitor. The man intended to break the girl's legs so that she could not get out on the ice. Fortunately, the girl got off with a slight fright, the doctors stated - there are no fractures. Athlete Harding very soon confessed to her criminal conspiracy with her husband. She was disqualified and deprived of all well-deserved awards, condemning him for 3 years on probation. It would seem that the road to the sport for her is closed forever. But stubborn and Tonya still continued to play sports, though she went to women's boxing.
