Ha ha, me too! That's how I ended up here, just reading random Seinfeld trivia I came across the connection to this. Been a Seinfeld nut for 20 years but never knew this inspired "The Understudy."
I was expecting the whole comment section to blow up with this. I listened to it four times just to be sure that's what i heard! Freudian slip of tongue, I'd say.
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, we are all experts aren't we? *sarcasm* I swear, although as much as I can't get over the hours of training for the Olympics, devote basically your entire existence on it, to not have a back up pair of laces?? Yes, she should of thought, however, I do blame the people around her. All the odds were against her. Her family, in my eyes, wanted her to succeed only to live off of her. There is such thing as tough love, and codependent, and straight out abuse and because of that alone, I don't think she will ever think she's good enough, in anything; it's terribly heartwrenching. *HOWEVER, no matter any way you look at this, what they did to Nancy was very f up.* Just wanted to clarify that. lol
she just needs some boots that go up higher, to support her ankles, this is a very simple fix that should have been thought of during training.......you can see later in the video that they are trying to jam things in there to make it higher...
Oh Tonya, what a consummate actress! It happens so she yells "is not gonna hold me" right in front of the cameras as she steps out!!!! And she blames everyone else for her downfall....?! ....and she never noticed her bootlace was too short or about to break when she initially got dressed and put on her skates, then practiced?
Incredible Mann I am not too sure how I would 'act,' but, giving her age, apparently the regular stress of being in the greatest competition in the world, add her being an underdog, her batshit crazy mother, etc, I don't know how I would take that. It's so much easier to squash the couch, yell at the kids, and wait for my nail appointment though. Just Sayin.'
Her lace actually broke in the warm up, they had another lace but it was two short because you if look at tonya's skate it laces all the way up to the top through eyelets rather then having hooks at the top which most skates have so her skate needed a longer lace so they had to miss some holes out the make it fit which wasn't a firm enough fit. I agree though it was an over reaction attention seeking temper tantrum on her part, She could have just asked for more time on the grounds of her personal saftey. But she was under a massive amount of pressure at the time and in practice videos she is constantly messing with her laces so not surprised it broke.
Mister Sarajevo Have you ever 'performed' at all? When you first off have a problem and need to start over, (I'm not perfect AT ALL, but thank God it's never happened to me. And please understand I am not trying to argue, just point out another way to look at this so f up situation already.)EVERYONE, Judges,audience,other performers are going to MAKE SURE they watch you when you do finally go up. That's so much added stress you didn't need. Add ALREADY the pressure she, and everyone else was experiencing just making it to the Olympics!!! I am with you though, WHY!! WHY!! didn't ANYONE make sure she had backup!! (My only thought is, I'm sure the Olympic committee checks over their equipment to be fair. Would an extra pair of laces have to be checked as well, or say, someone runs up to the store on the corner to get an extra pair?? This is a serious question!) Experts???
Go tithe Olympics n not bring any extra laces or back up equipment. Poor coaching and she also made so many wrong decisions. But she was one of the best !! Wish she had practiced more and hired some quality people like a decent choreographer !!
It's so funny. I remember this at the time. I fell for it. I felt so sorry for her. Now, knowing what we all know about her, I see it totally differently. She is a great actress, a complete drama queen, and she brought all the bad stuff on herself.
man, if only she wasn't raised by a crazy woman
wheelmanstan but she did design nice costumes.
wheelmanstan fr
4:00 her father. She loved him. He looked like Angry Grampa
i finally get that seinfeild episode
Ha ha, me too! That's how I ended up here, just reading random Seinfeld trivia I came across the connection to this. Been a Seinfeld nut for 20 years but never knew this inspired "The Understudy."
Watching that episode now...the only reason I'm here. LOL!
Came here right after a rerun of that episode
I came here because of Gilmore Girls. Now I understand both shows' references!
Let’s just blow over the fact the announcer said “they give every opportunity to give their breast performance”

@@megsie1424 Lol...
Tonya: "It's not going to hold me"
Laces: "Think again"
3:12 I mean, it actually broke. Look at the skate. Its not the shoe lace, its the whole top of the boot.
Oh damn...
The Understudy episode on Seinfeld brought me here 🤣🤣🤣
Yes! I just realized that this it from that episode 😂😂
Vine aqui por la película.
Lo han clavado!
This is why all shoes should have velcro.
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, we are all experts aren't we? *sarcasm*

Just wanted to clarify that. lol
This happened to me before… it sticks
She should have brought a supply of replacement laces then you are prepared :(
smacksam Bam! Gold!
Yea she had a replacement but theres not enough time to relace the whole shoe
It wasn’t the laces. If you look at the skate it self, the lace holes ripped. That’s such an extraordinarily rare thing to happen.
But what I really want to know is, how did Josée do??
I felt bad not well she was so nervous she fell two times
3:51

hackajim What were they 'jamming' in there? An extra pair of socks so they fit? lol.
She couldn’t afford new ones she even made the costume she wore to the olympics

Tonya is not bad :(
@@Person160. do you? Don’t believe slanted news and views.

It's just an excuse to restart since she felt like she performed poorly.

Experts???
Mister Sarajevo Straight Up, NO-ONE what's to have a 'restart' when you perform. That's in sports, the arts, musicians. TRUST.ME.
Go tithe Olympics n not bring any extra laces or back up equipment. Poor coaching and she also made so many wrong decisions. But she was one of the best !! Wish she had practiced more and hired some quality people like a decent choreographer !!
If you look at her skates when she was showing it to the judge, you can see the skate is broken, not the lace.
Absurd. Trying to divert her guilt with these shenanigans, You go to World/Olympic competition you go prepared.
Por que crees que no la suspendieron antes?? Solo por morbo, lamentablemente ella siempre estuvo con lo mínimo para entrenar y aún así llegó muy alto
Karma!
How
She didn't do anything
Karma can be such a b*tch
She didn't do anything
Karma 😂😂😂😆😆😆😁😁😁👍🏼
Karma for what? Having a bad husband who destroyed her career? Think again!
🤡
And not to mention in abusive mother and husband and everything she went through as a child.
Karma for being too good...lol. She was the BEST - could have gotten gold. ❤💯
Get a life and a job.
