Tonya had some powerful legs.
Beautiful as well.
One of the best jumper America has ever seen. No doubt!
I really like her and her skating.
That outside edge on the lutz! That’s something rarely seen nowadays
Exceptional skater. Loathsome husband. Overreach by skating association. The brunette in Vera Wang was a media creation.
It's not nice to note she trumped a silver to bronze in '92 and then a gold to a silver to Neil Diamond in '94 , then made 11 million dollars to only gripe to Mickey Mouse... but viva Ukraine, just sayin'
Tonya is remembered as one of the most exciting skaters of all time. The other chick you mentioned? Great gowns, beautiful gowns.....but not remembered for her skating.
Today in hindsight we see she had the build of the women athletes of today. She was ahead of her time but everyone else looks boring in comparrison. All done with asthma..what a champion!
Absolutely agree!! 👍🏼
She was very athletic but unfortunately a little heavy on the ice
People often criticized Tonya for the music she picked for her programs, but in my opinion, the hard-driven, rock and techno pop music she chose (Batman, People Are Still Having Sex, etc.) actually suited her skating style to a tee. A powerful skater with big jumps needs that kind of music to accentuate his or her style of skating. Classical dainty music didn’t suit Tonya. I wished the judges saw that, but many did not and chastised Tonya for being “not artistic enough.” In my view, Tonya was artistic with the powerful music she used to match her spectacular skating. Kerrigan, on the other hand, to me, was colorless on the ice and kind of boring to watch with her conventional movements and elevator/shopping mall music (think John Tesh, Yanni, etc.).
this really was a perfect balance for her...
今では珍しくない選曲。ハーディングさんが時代の先を行っていて、時代が追いついていなかった😢
I am so dazzled my heart rate goes up just watching her!
Underrated, mistreated, but the skater with the true legacy. I ❤ Tonya xxxxx

She was always exciting to watch!
@@valmacclinchy Yes! She is, and has always been, my absolute favorite! There is no other skater more exciting and charismatic than Tonya Harding!!
She looks amazingly stunning in here.
Tonya is amazing
Loved watching her back then. Still love watching this now. She was that good.
She is so beautiful, her performances always make me cry!
Best scater of all time. Period!
Diane Rawlinson was the one who taught her all her technique… what a coach! Those jumps are done with perfect technique.
Tonya es magnífica!
Injusto apartarla del patinaje para siempre,todos merecemos una oportunidad.
She is in great shape here.
If she had a sponsor after the triple axel she could’ve afforded better elegant outfits hair and makeup to win the olympics not fair!
Funny how in figure skating they don’t have to wear coordinated outfits. All the other sports seem to have too! If it’s really about skill then why not have them wear the same outfits?
@@christienelson1437 Because skating is not classified as a team sport. It is an individual sport.
@@Person-mh6xq Two people can be considered a team. Figure skating for team USA is them same as track or other sports.♥️🎇❤️💕
Only IF she got good sponcers and brand endorsement to earn money and get good quality equipment and dresses.
Favorite Tonya program EVER.
agreed,I ❤ her. the excrement when is she went to the worlds in 91 was huge.I know this 94 🎉🎉
Banned simply because she was involved, in the slightest bit, of the bashing of poor Kerrigan’s knee (Kerrigan refuses to come to terms, forgive or even talk to Tonya to this day for seemingly no reason). Quite frankly, it’s really unfair. Out of respect, USFSA should unban her or at the very least give her back her 1994 title. In my opinion, the banning was overkill.
I agree. What gets up my nose is that she was also stripped of the titles she won BEFORE the attack. She won those fair and square. Stripping them from her had nothing to do with justice, and everything to do with petty revenge.
The attacks happened right before this.....so um she didn’t fairly win anything! she took out one of her main competitors....could she have beat Nancy....yes, but could Nancy have beaten her....yes! i like Tonya but i think taking this title away was fair! The ban on the other hand was crazy i mean i don’t know what other punishment they could gave done but life ban seems insane
Shawn Tippie keep in mind she had NO IDEA kerrigan was going to get attacked. so the stripping of her title was unjustified and unfair. hell, it’s the same as kerrigan getting injured due to an accident and being unable to compete, tonya wasn’t involved, so it’s not her fault.
BasicBen lol so she says
BasicBen lol keep in mind in a more recent interview Tonya has said she overheard them talking about “taking someone out” so she could win. Which is funny bc she never said that before back then......only people telling the truth can keep a straight story. Lol it sounds like you have NO IDEA
I love to watch her skate! Wish i could meet her.
Glorious!
The greatest American female skater
I wonder what marks this exact performance would have gotten her in Lillehammer and where it would have placed her.
Nancy had the beautiful costumes but not the beautiful performances.
.
This is Tonya
@@cynthcorcor126 I think she is just referring to the fact they let Nancy go onto skate, but she wasn’t as talented as Tonya.
A troubled life and troubled marriage....on the ice she's free. I admire her for her strength.
She's so cool.......
Preciosa! Qué alegría que por fin tiene la familia que merece 💗
😂😂😂😂😂😂
She was one of the greatest Athlets the US had👍👍👍
Her style was powerful and her jumps were amazing. She was always the underdog with very little support. She did it all on her own. She was very badly treated.
Didn't know Amy Adams had a skating career.
Yeeaahhh Tanya!!! 💘
Totally talented and totally hot .
GREATEST FEMALE LEGS OF ALL TIME!!
IT'S A SHAME THAT SHE MARRIED THAT TOOL GALLOOLY! I THINK SHE WOULD HAVE DONE WELL WITHOUT HIM?!
Yes, agreed!!
We've all met he mother by now, anything to get away...
Equal parts tool. Unless I missed the part someone forced Tonya against her will to marry a guy named Gillooly (of all things) she had her own agency in the matter. But I guess that doesn't jive with the mainstream brain washing does it?
A real woman!
Une patineuse de classe ..michelle kwan ....du talent et éducation
Wish she did this at Lillehammer!
those spins dude.
Does anyone know the name of this song?
Much Ado About Nothing film score soundtrack.
The best she ever skated, then it all came tumbling down
She could have been the goat
she said she would move one after she won gold medal in 94 funny enough the court ordered her to move on after winning gold
3:41: Oh, please....
Rod Srewart would sing: HOT LEHS!!!
You mean LEGS?
This isn't olympic
I love Tonya j this performance, but how TF does this dress go with Much Ado About Nothing? It looks like she was going to do a showgirl number! Perfect dress for that!
You must be trying to rain on Tonya Harding's parade!
Wtf would you have her wear, then? An Elizabethan costume from Shakespeare's theatre?
@@chooseyourpoison5105 Anything but a Vegas showgirl outfit.
Ella tiene mentalidad y figura de boxeadora no de patinadora artística de hielo
Yet she can skate with it, you nonce
Que du cinéma
Boy I didn’t like this music…
Ok so this was after incident. It’s fine to have compassion. But she doesn’t have a care in the world lol.
That outfit looks terrible. Didn't anyone have the guts to tell her?
She didn’t have money to buy the fancy ones like other competitors. If you don’t know anything about her many do a little research before you comment because she worked extremely hard to get where she did and it wasn’t her fault that she couldn’t afford extravagant dresses. She was also in an abusive relationship which in the end ended her career, so it was probably hard for her to organise getting equipment for competitions, she did her best and that was more than enough. I think it’s acc really nice and in the end skaters aren’t judged on their costumes they’re judged on ability, and she was the best by far.
You are sadistic!
Didn't have the funds that were paid to the attacker(s) of Nancy Kerrigan, that's right...hitmen are costly. I wonder how they wrote that off her taxes 🤔
Nicole was better
Elle voulait casser les jambes de nancy keregan......du jamais jamais vu ca....horrible
it's just a bad skating dress.
She's very delusional in this interview.
"I'm not gonna settle for anything less than the Gold medal this February".
Honey, you're lucky your butt ain't in jail.
What was delusional about it? Harding was ranked third in the world at this point, an Olympic medal was a very real possibility. Not so for Nancy, who was ranked fifth. As for going to jail, why would Tonya want to arrange an attack on someone who was ranked LOWER than her? The FBI, in spite of all their investigating, charged her with no more than conspiring to hinder a prosecution.
@@chooseyourpoison5105 Then why was she banned from figure skating for the rest of her life ?
She wasn't allowed to participate in any event after the 94 Lillehammer Olympics.
Why are we being haunted by the old bulldog
she is angry and dishonest👎
How is Nancy Kerrigan that's who you should focus on pay for her knee injury the hell with the bulldog
Тоня все будет хорошо когда ты от злости всем сделала тройной аксель мы болели за тебя солнышко
She had such passion Truly. I really wish the national figure skating federation allowed her to keep going she would still wow audiences
The most powerful skater of all time. Such passion in every move.
They should give her back her 94 title, this was glorious.
This was mediocre compared to her performances from 1987 - 1991. After 1992, she was out of shape and had inconsistent training. This was her trying to re-capture past glory, which she never really did.
@@officeaddict33 I would hardly call this a bad or even a mediocre performance at all. She didn't do a bad job at this short program . . . don't understand what you are seeing.
@Jose Fernández Yes, I agree. It is just too bad she didn't have the same skate at the Olympics. She was under alot of pressure and the negativity had to affect her. Had she had a better short, she would have ended up higher than 8th (which wasn't too bad in itself)!
@Jose Fernández Hello there! Tonya actually didn't do badly in the long. She moved up two places from 10th to 8th - as she had a huge Triple Lutz and a Triple Flip - both jumps had excellent execution and landings. Her short program is what left her out of the top 6th unfortunately.
@@officeaddict33 wtheck were u watching hardley mediocre
Still one of my favorite skaters of all time.
Those powerfull jumps...great!
A trash pig.
Stunning performance. Tremendous jumps, excellent spins, strong spirals and footwork, great basic skatign, and beautiful artistry.
Tonya Harding has it all she's the complete package.... I love her!
Tonya Harding music choices are beautiful.
Haha U know the music und U know why she choose the music?
@@henryfrenzel6025 no why
You dummies what to look at me as different persona
@@cynthcorcor126
Because of the attack of Nancy Kerrigan ;-)
@@henryfrenzel6025 that’s sounds so bizarre since she skated to that music the whole 93-94 season and most likely she prepared and practiced this over the summer of 93. Why would she use a musical score because of an attack that happened during the U.S. championships of 94?
It was totally unfair for them to take away her 1994 title
Ikr she deserved that medal with that beautiful performance she worked hard on
@@sweetcoco8064 so sad:(
Love your comment
Vic made him
If she got a sponsor after the triple axel she could’ve had money for elegant outfits hair and makeup and would’ve probably won the olympics! Not fair!!!!!
When you think of the bigger picture. This was supposed to be Tonya’s come back year! What would hitting Nancy in the leg benefit her? Even if Nancy wasnt hit I’m sure tonya would have pulled out 3A here and possibly won or came second to Nancy, and they both would have gone to Olympics and had a happy time, moved on as professionals. The attack was supposed to get Nancy out of Olympics, Tonya knew how the judging worked, her and Nancy were NOT the only skaters in the world. Oksana was already a favorite and would seem she was already chosen as the favored one for Olympics that year.and all this about with Nancy out of the way Tonya would be ‘the chosen one’ as if, she was never going to be the chosen one and she knew it more than anyone, They would have prob payed more attention to Nicole Bobek,who had qualities of both women in her. I think the judges and association were already over both Tonya and Nancy by this year. And wanted to move on with younger ‘fresh’ cute skaters. And why would Tonya plan a stupid attack when she worked so hard to get in shape for this moment!? Kind of Asinine to even think it. People loved the soap opera like class war thing going on. And that’s what created the huge hoopla. Unfortunate.
I've often thought of that as well. Nancy wasn't competing really against Tonya, nor Tonya against Nancy. Baiul's World title and ballet style set her up for a likely Olympic podium spot. Harding and Kerrigan needed to use the Nationals as their berth to Olympics. But neither skater really needed to worry about that.
Blu Skates I’ve heard many say everyone knew the two spots were going to Nancy and Tonya. It was pretty obvious.
I read fbi interview she was in on the attack .
Tony admitted it to fbi . She called the skating rink to find Nancy with a lie about wanting an autograph go read the fbi transcripts of Tonya admitting it and them finding the CALL LOGS and interviewing the WOMAN SHE CALLED FOR NANCYS ADDRESS !!!!!
Absolutely stunning, Tonya could wipe the floor with Nancy when she performed like this!
What did Nancy ever do to deserve such hate?
@@canadianbeef1958
Who is hating? Tonya was a better skater than Nancy, when she was at her best. Sadly Tonya was her own worst enemy
@@biscuitcase83 I might be wrong but I don't remember Tonya ever beating Nancy in any competitions. The only times Tonya won was when Nancy wasn't skating.
@@canadianbeef1958
That's completely and utterly untrue.
Nancy lost to Tonya on many occasions including at the 1991 US Nationals where Tonya won the title (Nancy finished 3rd) and 1991 World Championships (Tonya won silver, Nancy bronze).
Tonya beat Kristi Yamaguchi twice in 1991 (Nationals and Skate America) when she was nailing her Triple Axels.
It was only by 1992 that Nancy was beating Tonya every time they met in competition, because by then Tonya was not training properly, out of shape and more focused on her abusive marriage.
Had Tonya kept up the kind of form she was in during 1991, skating history would likely be very different. Sadly she sabotaged her own career by wasting her enormous talent after her success that year
I love her skating❤Very powerful and artistic😍
Me too
Yeah tonya was a very good skater!
Attractive at this point in her life. Not so much now.
Her jumps and spins were outstanding!👌🏼
Her jumps and spins were outstanding!👌🏼
what a great program omg
@russianskatingfan I was 10 when I watched this. She was my favorite skater and I was so happy for her.
Tonya Harding is an Evel Knievel on ice!
I think she is great....but, I noticed a bruise on her arm...I hope that creep wasn't still hurting her at this point in her life.
The wrong friend!
She took 1st place that's great All Right Tonya!
Death threats in figure skating?! Jesus! People are sick!
It was Harding's team who made them, because she didn't want to have to compete in the qualifier (normally top skaters never have to do this, but she skated so poorly at '93 US Championships that she had to).
Harding sent them
Конечно великолепно!!!
To the people who think she knew about the attack, how could she skate like this knowing that she took out Nancy?
She wouldn’t have been in point at this competition knowing that. no way, she would have flubbed everything or stopped or something, 1994 was supposed to be her comeback year!
I've maintained that even though it'd be easy to assume she knew: Tonya was and always has been terrible at hiding her personal life from her professional image. She had a tough girl look and way of speaking, but she isn't that person (given how much she's always blamed others for her shortcomings) and is much weaker than she wanted you to think. She's not tough at all, she just plays the role. I've found, in life, that the girls who talk like she does are also always the first to cry. Tonya was always the first to cry with every skate malfunction, costume problem and marriage issues that plagued her.
If she had known about the attack, the guilt would have been immediately evident. She'd have been paranoid. No doubt. Instead, she delivered the best 3 Lutz/2 Toe combo that skating, even 25 years later, has ever witnessed. She really thought that this was her moment.
The question is naiive. How could a former president lie for four, straight years without even wincing. The answer: Because some people have no conscience.
Wow this is gold. Nancy was watching without competing. I believe this may be before the accident.
No, this took place 1 or 2 days after the incident.
@@3Axel1996 Really? And she was on the dais looking? I thought she would be on hospital. So at that point they didn´t suspect of Tonya yet.
@@LauRa-re9un Tonya would get off the podium from this event as the cheif suspect in the incident. Nancy didn't require a hospital stay as her injury was a bone bruise, which is painful AF but not a life threatening problem. She was supposed to walk without aid as part of her recovery and underwent physical therapy to regain her jumps and flexibility, which she did quite well. I believe the "plot" (I'm putting it in quotes as it was possibly the worst plan ever conceived) unraveled in Detroit as teh FBI interviewed both Harding and Gilooly (spelling) and then within a week of the couple returning to Oregon as Erckhardt would confess after a witness came forward identifying him as the "mastermind" (again in quotes because that guy was dumb as hell).
@@englishclasschaug Thanks. Yes I know he was dumb :D
@@LauRa-re9un I've actually often had trouble believing Harding was involved in the plot to attack Nancy Kerrigan as Shawn Erckhardt was easily identifiable as the dumbest person on Earth. She never struck me as intelligent or educated, but she had one hell of a BS detector for others. So she would have seen directly through him. But with the most recent interviews she's given since the movie I can tell just by watching her talk about the attack that yes, she was aware before the attack itself and whether or not she was in the planning she should have done something. Her banishment from skating was entirely justified and they removed her 94 national champion title, which was just and right.
She wore the same dress here with which she had a problem the year before??????wtf
They probably fixed it by then
@@sweetcoco8064 I know, but I wouldn´t wear a dress that got ripped ever again, just in case.
She may well have not been able to afford it. Skating costumes can cost in the thousands. Harding had to make her own in the early days, and even at the Olympics her dress was made by a local dressmaker. She probably had to just settle for putting reinforced stitching in the broken strap and soldier on. Meanwhile Kerrigan had Vera Wang giving her costumes for free.
She always has a bad cough
Tonya has asthma......thus the cough
@@sherylejeffers5484 that makes her accomplishments even more amazing
😴
She was overweight! How do you expect to stay competitive if you connot control you appetite...
PowerOf Wisdom last time I checked she won this competition, so she was definitely still competitive lol
Tonya Harding was not overweight... no other skater could jump as high as she could!
She won. And she had a gorgeous body, all muscle. That's how she jumped so high and fast.
Those legs are all muscle and very nice as well.
Ahhh, it's ok Nancy. We know you think you're perfect because you like to starve yourself. Tonya looks POWERFUL, she literally has defined bicep muscles.
