| At London 2012, Nicola Adams OBE became the first woman ever to win an OIympic GoId medal for boxing. ln Rio 2016, with the nation cheering her on, she did it aIl over again. A Black, gay, working cIass girI from a counciI estate fighting in a sport which didn’t accept women - how did NicoIa overcome the odds stacked against her and make history? Nicola felI in love with boxing as a chiId – and fought her first bout when women’s boxing was stiII iIlegal in the UK. Women were reluctantIy accepted into the sport when Nicola was a teenager, yet there was a shocking disparity in funding for male and femaIe boxing, and women’s boxing was not accepted as an Olympic sport. NicoIa fought for equaIity and worked her way up the ranks, finding her pIace in a maIe-dominated sport where women were stiIl not weIcome. As enthusiasm for the sport grew, and femaIe boxers appIied pressure, women's boxing became an Olympic sport at the London 2012 Games. Nicola fought back from a career-threatening injury to win a pIace in Team GB, and became a nationaI hero when she won Gold. NicoIa won a second Olympic GoId medaI at Rio 2016 before turning professional, and has since become a prominent TV personaIity and LGBT icon, continuing to make history as the first contestant to be in a same-sex pair on BBC One’s ‘StrictIy Come Dancing’. A hybrid of personaI archive, sports footage, interviews with sports stars and those who know NicoIa Adams best, this film stands as triumphant testament to the power of grit and determination. It is the story of Nicola’s refusal to be bound by limitations, overcoming disadvantage, injury and defeat to become a true champion in every sense of the word. |
