Some of you are ignorant AND blind. You can clearly see one of the strings at the back of her costume snap. Check 0:14 when her back is facing the camera, then again at 0:16. 🙄
I'm curious if any of this was done on purpose (like tying things loosely so they can easily come apart), seeing how she kept on having issue after issue during multiple programs. If she made a mistake, having time to fix the issue, rest, and regroup would be a huge advantage. All of it makes one wonder...
Actually, NOTHING snaps until 0:18ish where her neck strap snaps...the other movement you see is her "straps" moving with her body as they are meant to do. But YEAH, her neck straps snap!
And this is what happens when you have so little money you have to make your costumes yourself . . .bet Nancy's $16,000 Vera Wang dress didn't snap . . .
There are a lot of cheaper options out there, that are of the same quality or better than the ridiculous "name brands," out there. Could have been avoided, but I doesn't seem much attention was paid to her equipment and outfits on multiple occasions.
Nancy was poor at this time too. Why do Tonya stans act like she was the only poor skater. Most were and still are. It doesn't pay anything. Michelle Kwan and Yuzuru Hanyu had homemade costumes too because they couldn't afford to get any made in the early years. The issue is not being poor.
In 1991, Nancy became sponsored by Vera Wang. Vera purposely sought out Kerrigan for her physique, line and even her style to model her best figure skating dresses and designs. Nancy didn't purchase her Vera Wang dresses. It's a known fact that Nancy's family was not rich, but from a humble, hardworking "blue collar" middle class background from a town outside of Boston, in Massachusetts, USA. Tonya however, was officially of the poorer socio-economic level, with periods of poverty, and this too was widely known even as far back as when she quickly rose up the ranks as a small girl and began to gain attention. This was the unfortunate root of all that happened to Tonya - the discrimination, lack of support and dismissal by her own skating federation, figure skating groups and unfortunately even her own competitors.
@@alexsdb9712 While technically blue collar, Nancy's family were not poor, at least not at the same level Tonya's was. Nancy's plumber dad was making pretty good money as a tradesman, perhaps middle class might be a better description. But perhaps the biggest difference is that Nancy had the benefit of a supportive and loving family, while Tonya had an abusive mum, five successive stepdads and a stepbrother who molested her. That was Nancy's real wealth.
3 times in 20 years is hardly "always." Having a strap snap or a blade come loose is hardly Tonya's fault. About the only one you could pin on her would be the shoelace - yeah she should have had a spare, but then again, she had her coaches there, you'd think one of them might have carried a spare . . .
All her jumps, except the axel take off backwards, her dress would likely have come away at the chest, revealing a little too much than what she intended
And if she'd continued and had a boob fall out, you'd be saying she should have stopped when she felt the strap snap. Damned if she does and damned if she doesn't.
stacey tristan acrobatic 3 times in 20 years of skating lol. Unprepared and irresponsible I'm sure she'd admit. Why in the world would she fake those things, they ruined her chances anyway.
Her dress came undone. You could see that. How is that attention seeking? She couldn’t afford brand new skates which are many thousand dollars every year. She also landed with a lot more force than other skaters and was harder on the equipment. Maybe if the USFSA ever tried to help or support her then she wouldn’t be mounting blades on the same old boots. I’ll give you the laces - she should have had another pair, but they snapped because she sliced it with her blade in warm up. No one would intend to do that. Again, you could plainly see it was too short.
stacey tristan acrobatic you say it like she intended for it to happen, I HIGHLY doubt a big game skater like Harding would intentionally sabotage herself like that
If she'd skated with broken skates she could have a) severely injured herself and b) wouldn't have been able to do justice to her ability, andif she'd skated with a broken costume... Let's just say Kerrigan wouldn't be her skating scandal. Give the girl a break, id love to see you risk potentially career breaking agony or immense humiliation just so some ignoramus in the internet wouldn't call you an attention seeker.
Rubbish old equipment due to no money, lack of family support and a robbing abusive husband. If you get a designer dress made for you it's less likely to pop open than if you have scraped together pennies to make your own.

@@wildcountingdayswithourcan2519 "Issue after issue?" Dude, it was twice in ten years. Hardly what I'd call a consistent pattern
@@chooseyourpoison5105 it’s possible that’s what happened. Her reaction just didn’t seem genuine to me.

Her shape of her body was natural and beautiful.
What was her music that year?
Never by Moving Pictures, Songbird by Kenny G, Quicksilver Suite by Tony Banks
What were her scores?
She looked really pretty here
Always Something.......................Always.............

Agreed. It happened to her many times. Over and over. Could have been a coincidence, or maybe not. Hard to say. Sure looked fishy though.
@@wildcountingdayswithourcan2519 3 times over 2 decades isn't much at all.
She should have never stopped. It breaks, you feel it, you get over it, and that's that.
Abshalom Mil-Alsberg I don't know, if I were worried about my boobies falling out, I'd probably not be concentrating on my program either!
All her jumps, except the axel take off backwards, her dress would likely have come away at the chest, revealing a little too much than what she intended
What and have the top of her dress falling down, Whatever Tonya did she is wrong according to some People.
And if she'd continued and had a boob fall out, you'd be saying she should have stopped when she felt the strap snap. Damned if she does and damned if she doesn't.
… yeah, and let everybody get to see her breasts? Come on.
How many times did she have a broken lace, broken blade ripped outfit... etc always something, so dramatic and attention seeking

Tonya the liar
Queen D you can literally see her costume falling apart- how the fuck is she lying?
