Default Harding-Kerrigan 20 Years Later

For all you whippersnappers out there, a story about reaching for your dreams and the true embodiment of the Olympic spirit.

Tonya Harding remains my favorite US Olympian - no one was as committed to winning a gold medal as her. As sensational as this story was then, pre-interwebs, think of what would happen today.

You sure you don't have that name mixed up? You admire her because she got her husband to beat up her competitor?

Exactly, she went above and beyond to try and win.

Kerrigan just cried a lot.

Looks like Kerrigan ruined Harding's life, by being hotter.

Sorry, I thought my "embodiment of the Olympic spirit" line would have turned on the green text for you.

What I really admire is that this collection of idiots thought they could pull it off

Tonya is on some comedy channel type program where they show stupid people videos and then her and others make wise cracks about them.
Apparently some of them are comedians, some other notables are Danny Partridge, Sylvester Stallones brother, a not popular Baldwin brother.
I was just watching it last night for a bit.

I'm not ashamed to say that at that time I thought Harding was hot, and the whole trying to destroy her competitor made her hotter.

then she got huge and threw a hubcap at a guy.

Tonya was also the star of one of the greatest 911 calls ever and in turn, one of Jim Rome's longest serving soundbites. so there's that.

You are a felon! You're a liar!!
Come on over officers! Come on over.
