MoniL At the time, it was reported that she was completely banned from the United States Figure Skating Association. It was even stated that she couldn’t be a sanctioned coach when people brought that up. If she can’t be aUSFSA/ISU sanctioned coach, then there’s no point. Surya Bonaly’s mom was 1 of her coaches, but because she wasn’t sanctioned, she couldn’t act as a coach at events like worlds or the Olympics.There’s nothing stopping Tonya from giving lessons, though.

This was the only time she completed as a professional. She was banned from USFSA sanctioned competitions, but this competition was held by ESPN and unsanctioned, so she was able to compete. There aren't many unsanctioned events, so there were not a lot of opportunities for her to skate more often.

Well soon after this she also attacked her boyfriend Darren Silver with a hubcab, he had to go to hospital, and she was charged. This I think also stopped her from being invited to more events, since she proved she was still prone to violence when she didnt get her way. I think without that she gets invited to more events, and the USFSA possibly drops its ban.

Everyday domestic incidences occur to many people across this country. Just because she was involved in one (and I believe the boyfriend may have hit her first and/or provoked the incident in someway) doesn't indicate she was prone to anything. It was unfortunate timing for her, because she had just come back to skating in this event and if it affected things negatively for her then thereafter it is even more unfortunate. But I don't think it is fair to judge her negatively on that because lots of people are involved in these types of incidents all the time. She was just in the spotlight on that when it is something that should have been more private.

saumashree De look up the Good Morning America interview she did recently where Tonya admits she had been there when her husband and bodyguard planned on taking out her competition. She knew they were planning to attack someone, she lies so much it's hard to believe she didn't know it was Nancy, especially when she made it known back then how much she didn't like Nancy. The movie is good but it's mostly from Tonyas version of events, and her story changes every time she tells it. I'm not saying she's a bad person, she clearly was surrounded by toxic people in a toxic competition where everyone was horrible to her, her dream was in reaching difference. But she's not innocent. At the very least we know she admits to knowing it was going to happen, at the most I think we can guess she probably even was a part of the plan.

However, not long after that event, Tonya got into a drunken fight with a boyfriend, and she assaulted him with a hubcap, and after that, no one was willing to book her for an event.

Yamaguchi and Ito were my favorites for the 92 Olympics and Tonya should have been the heir apparent for the 94, but the establishment seems to have pushed for Kerrigan (including Yamaguchi stepping aside even though she was still competitive in 94) bc she had the more underdog compelling story complete with the sob side story of a blind mother off to the side unable to see her daughter perform - the networks loved milking that shot off ice. By 94, Tonya's 3A was also getting shaky so it was all about "sweetheart" Kerrigan who lacked the personality and showmanship of Bauil, but she showed that she was a poor loser at the ceremonies and bitchy at Disneyland, yet she managed to retain that false "sweetheart" narrative whereas poor Tonya hasn't been forgiven yet. I hope the new movie "I, Tonya" redeems her a bit bc the ice establishment has been cruelly cold.

Nancy was not a bitch and neither was her mother. You form an all too pitiful arrogant and hateful feeling towards Nancy Kerrigan based on partial film clips that are shown here on You Tube. Those who knew her and skated with her all say she was a very nice and thoughtful person. I get a feeling that you hate the all American girl sweetheart image. She was for real and you along with many others on these videos are too quick to judge. The tabloids were having a field day fueling the feud and to bring down an ice princess in a way the thugs couldn't do just made their day. You ate it all up in your mind You wouldn't be so gracious if you had been cheated out of a gold medal that she did deserve and the Communist judges made up the majority and they have always given Americans lower scores than they deserve. Oksana did not skate as well as you think. She missed too many landings and her performance wasn't near as difficult as Nancy's was. I saw all that stuff back then. Don't get too carried away with her marrying her coach. She was his second wife and they were legally separated. That marriage was falling apart Nancy or no Nancy. At least this one has lasted.

Our lovely Tonya Harding deserves a Presidential pardon, clearing her of any wrong doing, she should not have had to pay out over $100,000 do 100 hours of service and other privleges stripped , she should have kept her National wins /titles they occured prior to the incident that Tonya as fully innocent of.. Tonya deserved to be able to continue to skate, there are athletes who take steroids and get a slap on the hand and continue to compete. This young lady was over prosecuted and the fact is she is the world's best skater. Go back to her 1991 /94 etc performances and put then in slow motion she is reaching heights of 4 ft . for triple axle another feat she does she lowers her head almost to ice and throws herself into the air over 4 feet, watch it in slow motion, her strength , heart and soul and competitiveness is amazing to say the least. I would say she is the best athlete I have ever watched , she also has a photo shoot you can see how strong she truly is, and she worked for everything she has gotten in life. God bless her and may she be happy and content. America should forgive and forget the past and quit blaming this young lady ..

Lol, didn't know she returned as a professional! She is even more beautiful here! Less hard jumps but her spins are just as fast as they were in 1994. Did she continue with a career as a professional?

Professional skating was winding down by 1999. Tonya missed the major explosion after 1994 when you couldn't channel surf on a Sunday afternoon without wall-to-wall professional competitions. Tonya wasn't needed at that point, though she could have been invited. Pro competitions have nothing to do with the USFSA or the ISU. Nobody wanted to touch that scandal, though and they were more interested in luring Nancy Kerrigan than Tonya. By this point in time, most of them had closed up shop and this was one of the few left. Even the *actual* World Professional Championships (typically aired in prime time on a major network), once the Olympics of the pro world, were discontinued permanently after 30 years in 2002. ESPN probably brought her on as a risk due to the competition's dwindling ratings. Unfortunately, there wasn't a sport for Tonya to really come back to professionally... the boon was over. Strangely, pro skating maintained popularity from the early 1970s, through the 1980s and gained steam in the 1990s. But by the turn of the century, it was a dead section of the sport. Even now, there is truly *no* professional skating scene. Just the Olympic-level competitions. Most of the touring companies went bankrupt. Nobody holds televised competitions. I think it's kind of strange it was unable to sustain itself at all after it really became mainstream...

@sbe .... It was the Pro-Am competitions that killed the Professional championships. The rules were changed so that "amateurs" or Olympic-eligible competitors could also compete (and make money) in the Pro-Ams, which is short for Professional-Amateurs. Once the currently competing Olympic-level figure skaters were competing, the professionals .... older, some in their 30s and 40s ... hadn't kept up with the competition. And why should they? Their role was to maintain interest at a lower level of technique, but continuing to develop their artistry, their charisma, their audience connection, their musical ability. I remember reading one review where Michelle Kwan was competing in a Pro-Am. . This was 1998; Michelle had just won the Olympic silver medal and was World Champion. Kristi Yamaguchi was the youngest "pro" competitor, and thus was more competitive with Michelle than the others, some of whom hadn't even done triple jumps in their Olympic eligible competitive days. Anyway, Kristi took it seriously, trained hard, did her best, but couldn't come close to doing what Michelle was doing. And that is how the Professional Championships were killed. I also heard Kurt Browning say that all the professionals were discouraged after the first Pro-Am, for the very same reasons. Men or women, what had won them medals in the past was no longer competitive.

Really interesting, Carla. I hadn't read any of this prior. Even still, there is no place now for recently retired amateurs to go. I only know of one serious pro-am still in existence, which is... perhaps the American Open, US Open... something like that.

What a lot of people don't know is is that Tonya was scheduled for 2 more "made-for-tv" competitions, but a few days after this event, Tonya was arrested for attacking her then BF with a hubcap to the face. And that alone torpedoed her professional "comeback" forever. Because at that point she was actually starting to establish a possible professional career in figure skating and maybe start to earn what most people don't get: a second chance. And once again, she threw it away.

But everyone stay on the nancy Kerrigan case. I know it’s very bad what happen to her , but we saw the real face of Nancy at the JO , she wasn’t the victim victim. We have to forget tonya et appreciate her amazing talent

Tenía otra percepción de Tonya, ahora la admiro por su talento a pesar que le destruyeron su carrera, lo que ella más amó en su vida. A pesar de eso, no deja se ser una bella mujer en todos los aspectos, se nota en su ser.

É tão triste saber que o quanto uma pessoa pode arruinar a sua vida. A Tonya tinha tanto talento e um futuro esplêndido pela frente; eu não acredito que ela tenha participado daquele atentado, pode-se ver o quão arrasada ela estava por tudo o que estava acontecendo. Ela sofreu tanto nas mãos da mãe e vem um homem horroroso e destrói a sua carreira.

baller rabbid So just because she says something it’s suppose to be some ultimate meaning implicating her for something she didn’t do? That’s stupid. People’s understanding and perception varies. Regardless it still doesn’t mean she’s guilty nor that she committed the crime.
@ballerrabbid9105
@ballerrabbid9105 6 жыл бұрын
Narcsue Kelbold No one ever assumed she herself carried out the attack. At the time she claimed she knew nothing, then when police found paper with Tonyas handwriting in Tonyas garbage with Nancys training schedule on it Tonya told police she knew after the attack her husband and bodyguard were responsible. Over the years this story has changed everything she's told it. During the movie being made she was adamant she only knew about them sending Nancy a death threat which she was on board with. Then after the movie she told GMA she was there when her husband and Bodyguard decided they would have her competition taken out. She lies constantly in hope people will forgive her for what she did. Whatever part she played in it was still a part no matter how small. The attack was intended to shatter Nancys knees, had that happened Tonya would have served time in prison as well as being banned from pro skating. She got off because the attacker she knew was being hired got nervous and aimed wrong. Would you be defending her if Nancys knees had been shattered? If the womans whole career had been ruined forever? Or is it because their evil plan didn't work you think Tonya should be let off?
