Without the representation of conflicting forces, it’s still not The Chariot. Perhaps if she had coaches or supporting fans standing ring side giving conflicting advice.

Reading another book that I have on The Chariot, yes. While it does stand for victory in both instances that I’ve read, this will not come without focus and determination.
 
From The Chariot wiki, I asssume this card is from the classic Raider-Waite?
 
“A powerful, princely figure sits in a swift chariot, pulled usually by two sphinxes or horses. There is often a black and white motif, for example one of the steeds may be black and the other white. These symbolise balance or as some say positive and negative working in tandem. The figure may be crowned or helmeted, and is winged in some representations. He or she may hold a sword or wand, or other masculine symbol. The Thoth Tarot deck has the figure controlling four different animals, representing the four elements.
 
It has been suggested the square on the charioteer’s chest is a representation of the earth tattva.
 
Although the sky is bright, there is a canopy of stars above the charioteer’s head. This shows how “celestial influences” from above guide him to a victory.”
 
Taking this into account, I still believe that this character, a boxer who fights her hardest and strives to be all she can be, represents The Chariot most. The blood on her face could be that focus and determination needed to attain victory, and the spotlights above her could be that guide to help her win the day. The masculine object, like the sword or the wand, could be the champion’s belt that she carries.

Just saying ‘victory’ doesn’t serve the card justice. To quote Wikipedia “A powerful, princely figure sits in a swift chariot, pulled usually by two sphinxes or horses. There is often a black and white motif, for example one of the steeds may be black and the other white. These symbolise balance or as some say positive and negative working in tandem.” “Signals decision making, focus and determination. A willingness to take the reigns as it were.”  
Temprance is more about moderation rather than decision making.

In my learning of the Tarot, The Chariot represents victory, a show of strength and pride as a Ceaser-like figure rides in a victory parade. What you are describing is most certainly Temperance if I’ve ever heard it. Temperance is all about balancing opposing energies and creating harmony and tolerance.

The chariot symbolizes opposite powers working against each other that must be forced to cooperate. Perhaps I’m just not familiar with the character but this makes little sense.
