I believe that Yang was caught in a hallucination. She thought she saw Mercury attack her, and so reacted. This was not real, however.

But what really happened, was Mercury came over to her, pretending to be a good loser, and got himself in position so that when she attacked him, his leg would be broken. This is what the crowd saw, what the camera saw, and why everyone reacted so negatively.

Yang was the only one caught in an illusion. To everyone else, she attacked him for no reason because she has terrible sportsmanship.
