@FlautistRedemptions IMO the problem was her family and friends didn't tell her how good she was. She needed a support system and she had none, so she became self-destructive. In this program she is putting her heart and soul into it. In the years following this, she always seemed to show up with a defeatist attitude.

If this was her Olympics performance back in 1992.. I'm sure she might had taken that Gold medal from Kristi Yamaguchi and also 1994 with Oksana Bauil... But at the same time Kristi Yamaguchi and Oksana Baiul are more known for their artistry not technical skills. So it might have been a very close competition.

@mageezy And she knew how to choreograph and then some! It seems between the 91 short and long programs, and the ones going into '92, they couldn't be beat....

Wow I can't believe this is the same fat, out of shape woman we see on worlds dumbest today. What happened to her, drugs? Too much fast food??

@tnlmtr - She was fabulous ... for a time.

I love Tanya, and she could have gotten so far except she had to press her luck and push it to where she couldn't re enact her famous 91 performance.

omg, there are people in the stands. look at today's skate america.
thank you NBC
19 years later, reminiscing about her alleged involvement in an attack on Nancy Kerrigan, I watch this performance, and see why Tonya was right when she claimed Nancy was NOT an obstruction in her path to the Olympics. I see some here say this was the best presentation in the history of the sport. Maybe it was. 19 years later maybe we finally tend to rate the performance and not the innuendo! How many American females today have done a triple axle in competition ? You know, Tonya was
fabulous!

I have never seen a skater since Harding have this much power and strength behind her movements. "Graceful" skaters are a dime a dozen, and in fact it's pretty much expected. But the height she gets with her jumps, the power and force behind her moves, they're unmatched...to date, I haven't seen this kind of strength. What a brilliant skater.
