Yup. I can almost picture her smoking a ciggy while at skating practice.

You just knew Dick Button, Peggy Flemming and the rest of those old farts couldn't stand this road hard, put away wet broad when they could have Nancy or Kristy Yamaguchi but that's what made it so damn entertaining and you'd just root for her. Also, her nails and make up are hilarious.
and her eyebrows! GACK!
I always preferred Tonya to that fucking whining, screeching, horse-faced jackass Kerrigan. Of course, I don't watch this shit so... I had never heard of either until the whacking and once I'd seen that, I wanted to whack Kerrigan too!
Kill him.
Kill her.
Kill It.
Kill everything... that IS the solution!

I dislike Kerrigan, but I still think the 94 gold medal should have been hers instead of Baiul's.
Oh nooooo...... nope. Oksana was my gurrrlll.
I like skaters who are pretty to watch, like Oksana when she was young, or Kristi Yamaguchi. Nancy's hands were so stiff, like she was doing jazz hands all the time. It was irking and after she got hit on the knee, I couldn't get the WHYYYY WHYYYYY WHYYYYY braying out of my head when I watched her skate. Tonya could do all the jumps but skated like a linebacker, plus her face could stop a clock and her hair, makeup and costumes were tacky and clownish.

Yip, yip, yip in your tiny indignation. Bark furiously on, lady dog.
How did her family afford the ice skating lessons? Did she have sponsors from a young age?
^^^ her mom was a single parent and had limited funds. tonya had some sponsors but also worked and did things like clean the rink (IIRC) to get ice time. also collected used cans for $$$. she was a total hard-luck story in a sport of prima donnas. that's why i liked her.
agree. and that's why what happened with kerrigan was a shame, it made a spectacle out of a competition which tonya would have won, based on sheer athletic skill. can you imagine the sponsors and career she would've had? she could have gone out with a bang instead of being a butch freak doing female wrestling on Fox.

Kerrigan's family was blue-collar, but I think she had a much more stable upbringing than Tonya with her floozy, abusive mother. (Per wiki, Tonya was the offspring of her mother's fifth husband...)
