      @Gary Henzler OK so she's not the only Olympian to be abused by their parent, sexually molested by their stepbrother and have seven bells regularly flogged out of them by their husband (although I would say that must be a club with a pretty small membership) but it does make things much, much harder. Let me explain. When a person experiences repeated major traumas over a long period of time like Tonya experienced, the brain actually goes into caveman mode just like our ancestors did when threatened by a sabretooth, releasing cortisol and adrenaline 24/7 in anticipation of further danger, even if no threat is present at that moment. As a result, things that aren't necessary for survival (like skate training) go out the window in favour of things that are, such as food that provides immediate energy, and continual vigilance and alertness - resulting in weight gain from eating sugary food, poor sleep and fatigue from adrenal exhaustion. Having a brain stuck in survival mode also can lead to what appears to outsiders to be really dumb decisions, as the brain favours what is needed for immediate survival (like staying with an abusive partner because he'll kill you if you try to leave) over long term options. It also leads people to try to self-medicate to get relief from having a brain full of cortisol 24/7 - to be blunt, I'm just surprised she only ended up addicted to nicotine and not alcohol or meth. I'm not saying that Harding still doesn't bear some responsibility for the way things worked out, but what I am saying is that it would have been a LOT harder to do things like train regularly, sleep soundly, stay off the cigarettes and eat healthily. You should study trauma physiology and brain chemistry sometime - it gives one a lot of insight into why people do the things they do.

    She was radiant, and it's such a shame the world of her sport was so damn set against her.

      competitor, Nancy Kerrigan.

I'm not condoning what her MOm did, but for as awful as she was she did want more for her daughter and didn't want her to end up like her. Tonya grew up knowing what was in store for her if she didn't work hard. That's why lots of time you see amazing people come out of really tough situations, because they had to fight for everything they got and there is something life changing in that fight.

  • @Milordvega
    @Milordvega 5 лет назад +268

    I remember in the 90's how the establishment and even the fans generally did not like anyone of Tonya's body type (what would now be called "thicc") to be ice skating champions, nor was it considered physically appealing, as they favored the thin willowy types (Yamaguchi, Kerrigan, Baiul, Kwan, Lipinski, etc). Nor was raw athleticism, like what we saw in her style, valued that much for female skaters.
    But decades later, I now see that Tony Harding was truly an outstanding skater, if only for her incredible jumps and spins. And she looked radiant and sexy, even. Those phenomenal legs (she was mocked for having them then) would be considered desirable by many today. Too bad she was banned from competition - I thought a suspension or jail time would have been more just, not a lifetime ban. But she is a fighter (literally at one time) and I'm glad she seems to be alright with her life today.

    • @chooseyourpoison5105
      @chooseyourpoison5105 4 года назад +35

      What gets me is the way the media would go nuts over her triple axels, but mock the powerful legs that actually enabled her to do them. Like, contradiction much? It kinds of reminds me of how tennis player Martina Navratilova was loved for her powerful serves at the same time she was sneered at for her "unfeminine" muscular arms. Like, how did people think she managed to serve a ball at 280 km/hr - with wet noodles?

She wasn't anorexic either. They were both slender and thin but athletically built. Why do people go on and on about their so called "body types" they were just talented skaters in their time.

What they have in common are never reaching Olympic glory, yet both deserved it! Thank you Tonya for ALWAYS being YOU!

And taking away the titles she had won BEFORE the attack was just wrong - that wasn't about justice, it was just petty revenge.

      I've always thought that Nancy was very immature. Perhaps it was a result of being the youngest in her family and the only daughter and being the "baby girl," but she came across as whiny, and quite frankly, as needing to darn well grow up. Apparently when she was younger the owners of the rink she trained at booted her out and told her to come back once she'd lost the snotty attitude. She came back two days later and apologized . . .

      The worst part of it is, Tonya did not finish high school and had never held a regular job due to skating - by banning her, they took away her only means of making a living - it was literally the only thing she knew how to do. I don't have a problem with her receiving some sort of consequence for covering up for her husband (the only thing she was ever charged with) but a lifetime ban was way too harsh. And the stripping her of the medals she won BEFORE the attack was disgusting; she won those fair and square.

      I know exactly what you mean. I think it's because she had such a painful life and it comes out in her skating. Like, she put her anger into those huge jumps, and she put her pain into the beautiful and expressive spins. I think that's what we're picking up on, and why her skating has a sort of sad quality to it.

    Set aside the scandal , she was a far better skater than Nancy in that she was ahead of her time- she was contemporary skater in a sport that hadn't caught up. If she had the support, love and people around her that didn't tell her she was shit all the time she could have gone just as far if not farther
    Whether she actively participated or not in the attack at the core was a girl that learned that she didn't stand a shot at any success- doesn't excuse the attack but the mitigating factors before it was almost inevitable- her mother, husband, judges all threw sparks at a powder keg

      Exactly she worked her butt off and won the national championship when Nancy was attacked. Why would you work so hard and win especially knowing they loved taking off points for her appearance and song choices. The bodyguard recorded tapes of all discussions of the attacks. He showed it to everyone and frequently bragged about the attacks. A gang of idiots planned the attack and all they found was a handwritten note that a handwriting expert said could be hers.
