This is at the Olympics when her skate seemed to malfunction.
Am I the only one who felt a little bad for Tonya Harding here?

I did too.
Those rich elitists in the skating world treated her like trash. She was the underdog.

Many years later and knowing what we do about her life and family, I can see why the clip would inspire sympathy among some people. But such was not the case at the time. Her behavior was deemed unprofessional, inappropriate - you name it. It was so ridiculous that it inspired the Seinfeld episode "The Understudy"

She had a history of "skate malfunctions", so no sympathy here. Especially since they gave her FAR more time than the rule book allowed to fix the problem- they allowed her to leave and skate out of order and it totally screwed up the next skater who was forced to go on in her place.

I was “Team Nancy” until I actually got to know what the two women were all about, and then I became Team Nobody.

Yeah. At the time, nobody knew 100% whether or not she was directly involved/had knowledge of the Kerrigan incident. I believe she didn't plea to having prior knowledge until after the Olympics.

The biggest competition of her career and girl couldn't even do her laces right? Come on, bitch. Get on your shit!

R3, that sucked for Josee Chouinard (sp.?), who kind of had a disastrous skate if I recall correctly?

Who was her choreographer and why did they think having Tonya skate to the music of Jurassic Park was a good idea?

She should have wacked more legs to get on the podium.

Tonya needs to tell the whole truth.

Chouinard was a mental midget.

I felt bad that Nancy was whacked, but I was also glad that Oksana Baiul beat her. She had a more compelling story -- Ukrainian orphan -- and Nancy would end up coming across as pretty entitled afterwards.

Not really. Tonya was given a million chances and screwed herself over every time.

Pretty entitled, yeah: Nancy's brother killed her dad, batshit Tanya had her kneecapped, all because she worked her ass off from the time she was 3 years old.

R16, that was tragic about her father and brother, but that was years later. She also didn't deserved to get knee-bashed by Gillooly's goons.
But she acted like a total whiner after Baiul defeated her. I can't even imagine how much more the media would have shoved her down our throats if she had won gold.

They were both unlikable.

Nancy milked the deal, signed DEALS with every corporate entity she and her agent could scrape up. She was a lazy pro skater too.

Tonya was the fly in your Chardonnay and like a turd on the ice.

This is her now. You can take the white trash off the ice but you cant take the white trash out of the skater.

Kerrigan's husband was also very married when she started fucking him, so there's that.

How does a skate 'malfunction'? Even I never heard of that.

Same way that Janet Jackson's titty flopped out, it's a planned event.

I did at the time because I was convinced her husband had gone through with his stupid plan without her knowledge, and that she was acting smug because she WAS glad that Nancy got whacked but was too dumb to realize her dipshit husband had done it.
