To think about how great she was with everything she endured-physical & mental abuse at the hands of her mother, continued abuse from Gilooly and the judgments by the figure skating world, can you imagine how great she could have been if she had a stable home environment & surroundings with people that supported her? She was so strong & athletic--she could skate anyone else under the table in her prime. And to think she did all that--including triple axles--in less than ideal skates, skating outfits & other necessary items. She didn’t have new skates when she wanted them or custom made designer skate dresses like the other girls, but what she did have was sheer strength & raw power. Everybody demonized her and there was no proof she had anything to do with the attack on Harding. Is she perfect. No. But for anybody judging her & bad mouthing her, I challenge you to grow up in a household like hers, with her mother and get beaten up every day. Then quit school and hook up with an abusive, mentally ill man. I bet you wouldn’t make it anywhere near as far as Tonya did.
