She Skates to Jurassic Park and lands the best triple Lutz of the Olympic games in my opinion. They placed her in 8th place after the LP...BOOO! 1994 winter olympics lillhammer.
Narcsue Kelbold literally nowhere did I say I hadn't. I was simply making a little joke by highlighting the Jurassic Park theme playing in the background. I have all the respect in the world for Tonya and love that she accomplished so much during her career. I'm sorry if you perceived it otherwise, but I sincerely had no other intentions beyond making a small joke about the Jurassic Park theme.
She was incredibly talented and overcame a lot of disadvantages. She wasn’t from a typical background. Training to be good enough to compete at that level is expensive and she over came her lower class background. One of the best jumpers in the sport, though the commentary is spot on, she was a better athlete then an artist.
"This is so rare in skating, it never happens, but it's funny because it's the fourth time it's happened to Tonya" Scott Hamilton REALLY was tired of her shit.
he is prejudice against Tonya Harding, seems jealous and is black balling her to get out of this Olympic competition, she is such a bad assed great skater he just is a dick head in my opinion, not a nice man, so don't expect a nice comment from this Tonya Harding fan. Just goes to show you all how powerful of a skater Tonya really is to snap her skate laces!!!! Accept this.. seems they would have made laces with metal in them just for this Olympic skater.. I think maybe scott is gay and hates women in general..? one in 2 gay men acquire HIV & Aids.. fact. freedom of speech UsA.. You are the BEST Ms. Tonya Harding!!
Tonya will always be the young woman who defied the odds. Grew up poor, natural ability, wasn't always the best, but fought hard. And she made her way to the Olympics. Some people will only focus on the bad, but she was an amazing inspiration.
Roland Cliffhanger I don’t think Lasna34 was being judgmental, she was just telling it like it is. Tanya didn’t come from a rich, wholesome family like all the other skaters at the time. She came from a poor, abusive family and everyone knew it and the judges didn’t like her for it because she didn’t fit it. They didn’t want her to be the face of women’s ice skating. They wanted some proper rich girl.
CNoelle Nancy Kerrigan wasn't a proper rich girl though. Her father worked two jobs to pay for her ice skating and they were a middle class family. But she had the face and look the skating association wanted. They definitely didn't think Tonya fit that model at all. Tonya came from a really broken home. Honestly, this could have been a rags to riches story for her but the US figure skating folks and judges were a bunch of snobs.
Although people feed into the negativity of Tonya's past, I've always seen her as being totally underrated. Just based on skating alone, this girl was truly talented and nothing will ever take that fact away from her.
She was one of the best jumpers ever, and we see signs of that here (though not everything she was capable of). But she just didn't skate with the same enthusiasm that she had earlier in her career. Very cautious and tentative.
It's a shame she couldn't hit that same triple lutz in the technical program. She looked so solid at Nationals, even landing the triple axle in practice sessions. She could have been so much more with the right people behind her, and allowing herself to be the athlete she wanted to be.
Tanya was late to arrive in Norway, which impacted her ability to adjust to the elevation and the time change. She didn't attend her practices even in the US ahead of the competition she was also a heavy smoker with asthma. She also chose to skate to zztop, in a sport where most athletes perform to classical music. Tanya did a heck of alot to sabotaged herself.
@@jessicamcwilliams3346 she executed what others couldn't, where's the personal issue at? In terms of having an ounce of brains you understand she was the best because she did what no one could. What music she skated to and how they want her to behave is the problem of skating and other sports depending on grading performance. The problem of America is that while being THE most murderous nation in the world, you keep pushing the narrative of being a holly saint, the hero, the unmistakable etc. therefore your athletes have to be angels and you go on to accuse other Olympic nations of doping, while your athletes are ful through the roof, and even have the audacity to ban them from olympic sports. You'd probably rott if you can't to push the good vs evil story arc. The constant struggle to keep your lies a float to preserve the image. Tonya wasn't good image right? Same was with Ken Miles, Wilt Chamberlain, Bobby Fischer, McEnroe, Tyson, many more. Not everything in life revolves around stories.
@@jessicamcwilliams3346 I feel like she did better when she skated to Sleeping Bag and Europa (91-92 season) Everything went downhill after she changed her SP to Moon River. 4th at the Olympics is extremely amazing, people would wish to be in the top 10.
So she was skating to the theme of Jurassic Park when this happened? I find that oddly appropriate. Any way, if Tonya Harding skating to Jurassic Park doesn't send you back to the 90s I don't know what will.
tide32athlete It reminds me of that scene in Scream where Jaime Kennedy sees the guy in the video store "Oh, that's in bad taste if you were the only suspect in a viscous murder, would you want to be seen hanging around the horror movie section?"
Even this skate, one of the worse of her career, still breathtaking. So talented, and such a presence on the ice. No one will ever be able to take that away from her, she was incredible. It's a shame we live in a world with the odds so stacked against her.
Say what you will like the others but she was the first American to do a triple axel and I remember it live. It’s remarkable what she achieved given her background and upbringing. And say what you will about her mother, but with their social status, to fund and supprt an incredibly expensive sport and have her natural athletic talent is to be admired, just for technical merit and having the media against her. But I do remember Dick Byron and Peggy Fleming commentating some good words about her...um that is before that knee thing
This is actually a pretty solid performance. Her opening triple cannot be matched. She just was suffering a lot of mental stress because of the media and backlash she was getting due to the Kerrigan scandal. She deserved better marks then this though- she didn't fall at all. Two footed a bit on one landing, but pretty much a clean skate. If only she had delivered at the 1992 Olympics. If she had skated the way she did at the 1991 US Championships, she would have taken the gold. 1992 was the first time that even the Gold Medalist (Yamaguchi) fell during their program. If Harding had landed that triple axel, given more gusto to her energy on the ice, she would have landed a medal. It's so sad that after all that hard work, she turned in two lackluster performances in Albertsville. In 1994 I think she actually skated better, but the competition was far more fierce.
Because she knew she didn't deserve to be there are conspiring to send a death threat against Nancy and later becoming aware that they were going into attack her. Guilt undermines people.
***** Not necessarily true. She managed to return in a pro competition later on in the 1990s sponsored and aired by ESPN. She did not perform that well. She competed the Toe Loop and Salchow. When she landed the jumps, they were spot-on. But, she had too many pops and the choreography and music were awful -- worse than anything she had done prior.
I feel so bad for Tonya. I really wish she was able to do her planned Triple Axle here. Still, seeing her face at 5:53 just brightens me back up. You can tell skating at the olympics was dream come true for her. Seeing her father look on proudly is a nice moment too.
Not really her fault. She couldn’t choose what family she was born into. She did more born in shitty circumstances than most people born with a silver spoons in their mouth. She was a great talent surrounded by horrible people.
1besieged The adjective I would use about Scott Hamilton’s commentary is between “catty” and “bitchy”. It was obvious to me, with his little sideways comments about her lace issues, that he didn’t believe it and thought she was just trying to inject a delay. “This just never happens...except it’s happened to Tonya four times....”. Meee owwww!
Absolutely deserved to medal imo. Watching Tonya is always electrifying and she performed well after having a meltdown. If you watch I Tonya the narrative is that she was looked down on by judges and the figure skating establishment due to her poor upbringing, lack of expensive costumes and delicate gracefulness etc. She broke the mold and didn’t fit in with the high brow world of figure skating. She was certainly a rebel, for better or for worse. Incredible skater to this day.

B M you’re gonna believe what she said over what actually happened? 🤦🏻♂️ she lost cause she couldn’t compete. End of story
The opening triple lutz is probably the best I have ever seen. The triple flip and salchow are also good, the loop not so much. She seems to run out of steam in the second half of the program and looks slow.
"While preparing for Lillehammer, Tonya found herself not only under investigation by the FBI, but also the subject of two disciplinary proceedings by the sports authorities. The USFSA gave her 30 days to respond to the charges. In addition to the USFSA action, The USOC planned to hold its own Hearing in Norway on the 15th of February to discuss booting Tonya off the team. Tonya's coach, Diane Rawlinson said in an affidavit, "To require Ms. Harding to appear at hearings several hours from the site of her training within 10 days" of her first scheduled performance "will make final preparations for the competition impossible." And yet people wonder why Tonya forgot simple things like a spare shoelace?'
I'll admit, I don't know much about figure skating. But to me, Tonya Harding was much more fun to watch than the other girls. The "artistry" aspect is important to the sport itself, but idk her power and jumps were just more captivating.
I remember one of the reporters asking Nancy Kerrigan to comment on Tony's problem that evening and with kind of a snooty eye-roll she said "Well, it's always something; her costume, her skates, what can I say?"
Not to mention her eye roll and "Why bother, she'll just cry again," when eventual gold medallist Oksana Baiul wiped her eyes after weeping prior to the medal ceremony. Rather a mean-spirited comment and not a good reflection on her character
This was a lovely routine!!! I don't quite understand why people are going after her for being allowed to skate last when that was a judgment call buy the judges not Tanya, if anything be mad at them not her. It's not Tanya's fault her lace broke, if her boot didn't feel right she could have injured herself and I'm hoping while some may not care for her the last thing people would want would be to wish her harm.
I agree. Any competitor, yes, even Tonya Harding, is entitled to a reskate if they have an equipment failure. Skating on a boot with a loose blade or loose lacings is a one way trip to a broken ankle.
She really is talented. Even with all the pressure. She still can handle it. Regardless everything, what she has done, the way she was raised, this and that. She couldnt skate anymore, the only thing that makes her alive. Lets just remember this woman for all the talent she got. And these footages are her legacy.
I understand it’s a competition but if she had an issue with her skate/laces then surely that’s a huge safety hazard. I don’t understand why people boo-ed. One wrong landing and that could have been her ankle completely gone and her career over. She skated very well despite the mishap beforehand and for that she should be applauded :)
Hamilton could afford to be snarky. He benefitted from the sport in ways Bonaly, Bobek, and Harding werent allowed to. Dick Button was also snide at times, but far more professional. Also Button was a double gold medalist while a student at Harvard back in the forties. Scotty has also whined that the Tonya scandal ruined the sport financially. Now the only babes winning gold medals are Russian adolescents.
The more I view this program, the more impressed I am with it. True, it isn't a gold-medal winning performance, but it's impressive. Oksana Baiul deserved the gold and I loved her program, but I think Baiul's long program overdid it a bit on the cutsey element. Tonya isn't the dainty little ice princess, but I always thought her artistry was far better than she was given credit for. I have fallen in love with the Jurassic Park theme song ever since I saw this performance. As you can tell, I'm on Tonya's side. OK, she had a rough around the edges personality, but that didn't mean she was a thug who would have someone maimed. What a shame that someone this talented couldn't make money from her skating after age 23.
i cant believe they put yuka sato ahead of her after the short, when yuka did a single lutz , and then her free was not THAT much better than tonyas , tonya was way better than katarina in the long as well, the judges really let tonya have it because of the scandal
One great triple Lutz doesn't make for a top score by itself. She missed two of her triple jumps (turning one into a single and two-foot-landing the other), and she ran out of gas toward the end so her footwork was sluggish. I couldn't "boo" the judging on this. I think it was fair.
She was doomed. I think her jumps were so much prettier than Kerrigan's, she was always straight up and high. Kerrigan seems lopsided and barely finished before the landing. Tonya's program didn't have the artistry but she was a great skater. I had forgotten she had asthma.
Those boos from the crowed didn't make her nervous, they made her mad!! she was certainly an athlete for the ages! Good to hear life did turn around for her eventually.
I really like the music, especially for her. I think it would have been better if she had attempted the triple axel. This program shows that she was prepared to contend for a medal at this Games. She needed a clean short and a successful 3-axel in the long, and she could have captured the bronze.
She is really good from the way she threw herself up high and the flawless landing and she’s fast. She is better than the other one.. I wished she believed in herself and not engaged in that plot. She has the talent. If only she sticked to the right path..
Skaters like Nancy or Nicole Bobek's worst performances were spent with their asses on the ice multiple times, falling on spin combinations . She didn't have one fall here(probably why she avoided 3axel attempt) Pulled off some big triples, great spins. This performance wasn't as bad as it's been said to be
Dylvente Delay is the key in her jumps. Because of the height she got she was able to delay the rotation until the highest point in the jump and do all the rotation on he way down.
Thanks "I, Tonya" for bringing me to this.
nothing says 1994 like tonya harding having a meltdown while jurassic park is playing in the background

The more I view this program, the more impressed I am with it. True, it isn't a gold-medal winning performance, but it's impressive. Oksana Baiul deserved the gold and I loved her program, but I think Baiul's long program overdid it a bit on the cutsey element. Tonya isn't the dainty little ice princess, but I always thought her artistry was far better than she was given credit for. I have fallen in love with the Jurassic Park theme song ever since I saw this performance. As you can tell, I'm on Tonya's side. OK, she had a rough around the edges personality, but that didn't mean she was a thug who would have someone maimed. What a shame that someone this talented couldn't make money from her skating after age 23.
I agree with all you've said!
She was so incredibly talented & graceful. Breaks my heart that the world didn't let her be great💔
Тоня Ты умничка😚
My heart swells for such a champion.
i cant believe they put yuka sato ahead of her after the short, when yuka did a single lutz , and then her free was not THAT much better than tonyas , tonya was way better than katarina in the long as well, the judges really let tonya have it because of the scandal
One great triple Lutz doesn't make for a top score by itself. She missed two of her triple jumps (turning one into a single and two-foot-landing the other), and she ran out of gas toward the end so her footwork was sluggish. I couldn't "boo" the judging on this. I think it was fair.
Well, she actually doubled one. The guy just can't count.
Kameron Coleman she doubled her triple toe, the single they are referring to is the single axel instead of the triple.
She was doomed. I think her jumps were so much prettier than Kerrigan's, she was always straight up and high. Kerrigan seems lopsided and barely finished before the landing. Tonya's program didn't have the artistry but she was a great skater. I had forgotten she had asthma.
cowsongs
The better skater won this Olympics, Oksana Baiul
She was awesome.
I think you can call that a "delayed" triple lutz. Textbook perfect triple lutz. Incredibly gorgeous triple lutz I have ever seen.
This is outstanding, it's amazing
i love tonya
Those boos from the crowed didn't make her nervous, they made her mad!! she was certainly an athlete for the ages! Good to hear life did turn around for her eventually.
I really like the music, especially for her. I think it would have been better if she had attempted the triple axel. This program shows that she was prepared to contend for a medal at this Games. She needed a clean short and a successful 3-axel in the long, and she could have captured the bronze.
Ain’t no weakeness in her artistry sorry she not boring!
Durrell and Dixie watches Christina skates and cheers for Christina
Love the music
I loved her spins.
2018
30+ years later and this incident never gets old.
Tonya Harding is the greates skater of all time, she's taking skating to a higher level!
One judge was shaking his head.
How figure skating has changed during 24 years since then!!!
She is really good from the way she threw herself up high and the flawless landing and she’s fast. She is better than the other one.. I wished she believed in herself and not engaged in that plot. She has the talent. If only she sticked to the right path..
Skaters like Nancy or Nicole Bobek's worst performances were spent with their asses on the ice multiple times, falling on spin combinations . She didn't have one fall here(probably why she avoided 3axel attempt) Pulled off some big triples, great spins. This performance wasn't as bad as it's been said to be
I really love her ♥️
💝!
WOOOW
She had amazing talent and she threw it all away......so sad
Nancy was all like "shit!! Her performance was good" even thou nancys performance was superior, I think this one is really good
At Nationals Dick Button commented on her lutz that "the delay in that jump is breathtaking."
Dylvente Delay is the key in her jumps. Because of the height she got she was able to delay the rotation until the highest point in the jump and do all the rotation on he way down.
I love Jurassic Park theme song❤️
She like I AM A DINOSAUR! Imma skate like a brachiosaurus dammit! 😎😂😁
Birthday Cake and Ice Cream 🎂 🍦🎈
I, Tonya 😍
I ♥️ you! I love Tanya Harding! She’s still the very best!
i tonya!!
Cant imagine why any choreographer would pick this music for skating music. Its very hard to take seriously.
ok all of the controversy aside, she was good! wooowsa
She was treated so unfairly.
I loved her!
I can't believe that she in 8th place that's bad
her foot didn’t seem supported in that shoe, i don’t blame her for going again
the background music though!😂😂😂out of any songs they have to choose Jurassic Park😂😂i cant-😂😂
What are you saying? It was a beautiful score before it became a meme.
