Tonya Harding

Tonya Harding - infamous American figure skater, who performed in single skating. The second-in-the-record figure skating athlete and the first American to perform triple axel at the competition. Tonya is the 1991 U.S. figure skating champion and world championship medalist. She became famous in the 90s after participating in a high-profile scandal that ruined Tony's sports career.

The future athlete was born in the fall, November 12, 1970, in Portland Oregon. The girl's father, Al Harding, had health problems during the period, so he did not work for a while.

According to Tony, La Vaughn's mother beat the girl at home, but the woman refuted her daughter's words. In addition, the outfits in which the figure skater showed shows are made by her mother.

The girl left school without finishes in her second year of high school. For the first time I received money for competitions in middle classes.

Tony Harding's career biography began from a young age. As a child, the girl appeared on the ice and performed those elements that did not work for other guys. Even then, the talent of the young athlete and the desire to work were noted.

Harding went to success progressively. At first she was only 6th at the 1986 U.S. Championships, then climbed a notch in 1987 and 1988, and in 1989 she won third place. The girl was considered the main contender for the title of champion of the Usa in 1990. But Tonya caught a cold, and the old disease - asthma - made itself felt. As a result, the athlete dirty performed an arbitrary program and slipped to the seventh place.

Two years later there was a breakthrough in his career. At the 1991 U.S. Championships, she completed her first triple axel, winning 6.0 for technique, and earned the championship. Shortly before the start of the performance, the athlete was late due to traffic jams and got to the place of competition in all possible ways. The World Championship was a success for the girl in the performance of the technique, but, not demonstrating a number of mandatory elements, Tonya stood on the second step of the podium.

In total, Tonya Harding has made four triple axels during her sporting career. At the 1991 Grand Prix, she demonstrated abilities that she did not stop talking about twenty-odd years later. She was the first in the world to successfully perform a triple axel in a short program; the first in the world was able to perform two triple axels in one competition.

The girl became the first person in the world to perform a cascade with triple axel. After a number of successfully executed elements, the athlete subsequently failed to triple jump, and the girl's career went down.

In 1992, Tonya was injured. Due to a problem with her leg, she won the 3rd place at the U.S. Championship. Then came the time of the 1992 Winter Olympics. At the competitions, about which every athlete dreams all his life, the girl became the fourth. The 1992 World Cup also failed. Harding was far from the prize, finishing sixth.

The upcoming competition season was critical for the athlete: the girl was not allowed to participate in the World Championships. Despite her achievements, the real fame came to Tone as soon as she was involved in the crime.

During the competition, Tony's main rival, Nancy Kerrigan, was suddenly hit in the leg. The girl withdrew from the battle, and in 1994 Tonya Harding stood on the first step of the podium at the U.S. Championships.

After the incident, Tonya qualified for the 1994 Olympic Games, where she finished eighth. Kerrigan won the second place. However, later came the news that Tonya and her ex-husband had agreed with a friend that he would strike Nancy Kerrigan. It was expected that the attacker would knock out the athlete's kneecaps, but he missed and hit the leg above the knee. There are many photos of the incident on the network.

A scandal broke out around the athlete. She denied involvement in the attack, but her ex-husband and friend testified against Tony. She was given three years probation, 500 hours of community service and a $160,000 fine. The men were given a two-year prison sentence. The scandal reached its climax when pictures of the first wedding night of the former couple appeared in The Penthouse magazine.

After the catastrophic scandal, the sportswear firm Nike allocated $25,000 to Tony's defense fund, and Reebok took Nancy's side. As a result, the U.S. Figure Skating Association stripped Tonya of all titles and suspended the girl from the figure skating competition for life.

Tonya assured that she was not guilty of the attack and, protesting, tattooed on her back in the form of an angel. In 2008, she released an autobiography in which she said that she knew about the impending crime and wanted to call the FBI, but Jeff Gillowley threatened the girl with a gun, and she abandoned the idea. Gillowley himself, who changed his name to Stone after his release from prison, ridiculed his ex-wife's statements.

Tonya Harding married Jeff Gillowley in 1990. Three years later, the marriage fell apart. The former couple had no children.

In 2002, a woman appeared in a boxing match with Paula Jones.

In August 2002, she was detained for 10 days for driving under the influence.

Since 2003 she has taken up boxing and even won several prizes. A year later he signed a one-game contract with Indianapolis Ice in the Major League Hockey League.

In 2010, Tonya Harding married Joseph Jens Price. In 2011, the couple had their first child.

Now Tonya is busy raising a child and boxing.

In 2017, the Toronto Film Festival hosted a screening of the film "Tonya against all" about the career of the former champion. The tone on screen was embodied by Margot Robbie, and Allison Janney, who played the girl's mother, won a Golden Globe Award for her performance as a supporting actor.

Despite his scandalous reputation, Tony still has a huge fan club. Fans admire the story of a little girl who on her own went to success. And the fans say about the attack that everyone has the right to make a mistake.
