特鲁迪·埃德勒的激动人心的真实故事,她是一位横渡英吉利海峡的女性,并激发了女性体育的新时代

到 20 岁时,在爵士时代的高峰时期,特鲁迪·埃德勒是世界上有成就的游泳运动员。她赢得了奥运奖牌并创下了多项世界纪录。但挑战依然存在:英吉利海峡。只有少数游泳运动员,其中没有一个是女性,曾经完成过危险的 21 英里横渡。特鲁迪的初次尝试失败似乎证实了许多反对者所相信的:没有女人可能完成这样的事情。

1926 年,埃德勒证明了他们错了。在她的德国移民父母为她欢呼,她的姐姐兼游泳队友梅格帮助她设计了丑闻般的两件式泳衣和防漏泳镜时,特鲁迪决心取得成功。 “要么留在英格兰,要么被淹死,这是我的座右铭,”她说完,跳入冰冷的英吉利海峡,第二次尝试横渡。十四个小时后,比任何男人都快了两个小时,在经受住了一场接近六英尺的大风和海浪的考验后,她踏上了金斯当海滩,成为了世界上知名的女人。

根据多年的档案研究,从默默无闻中挖掘出了埃德勒的记忆,《年轻女子与海》生动地展现了真实的特鲁迪·埃德勒,她成名后面临的挑战,以及她的成就为所有后来的女运动员留下的历史印记。

NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE FROM DISNEY STARRING DAISY RIDLEY.

The exhilarating true story of Trudy Ederle, the first woman to swim the English Channel, and inspire a new era for women in sports

By age twenty, at the height of the Jazz Age, Trudy Ederle was the most accomplished swimmer in the world. She’d won Olympic gold and set a host of world records. But the greatest challenge remained: the English Channel. Only a few swimmers, none of them women, had ever made the treacherous twenty-one mile crossing. Trudy’s failed first attempt seemed to confirm what many naysayers believed: No woman could possibly accomplish such a thing.

In 1926, Ederle proved them wrong. As her German immigrant parents cheered her, and her sister and fellow swimmer Meg helped fashion both her scandalous two-piece swimsuit and leak-proof goggles, Trudy was determined to succeed. “England or drown is my motto,” she said, plunging into the frigid Channel for her second attempt at the crossing. Fourteen hours later, two hours faster than any man, and after weathering a gale and waves that approached six-feet, she stepped onto Kingsdowne Beach as the most famous woman in the world.

Based on years of archival research that unearthed Ederle’s memory from obscurity, Young Woman and the Sea brings to life the real Trudy Ederle, the challenges that came with her fame, and the historic mark her achievement made for all women athletes who followed.
