Career
Tonya Harding began competitive figure skating as a child and rose through the ranks in the late 1980s. She won the U.S. Figure Skating Championships in 1991 and placed second at the World Championships that year. Her signature achievement was landing the first triple Axel by an American woman in competition (1991).
Her career was derailed by the January 6, 1994 attack on rival Nancy Kerrigan, orchestrated by her ex-husband Jeff Gillooly and associate Shawn Eckhardt. Harding pleaded guilty to hindering the prosecution (she claimed she had no prior knowledge of the attack) and was stripped of her 1994 U.S. title and banned for life from U.S. Figure Skating. She finished eighth at the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer.
After skating, she briefly boxed professionally (2002–2003), compiling a 3–0–1 record in four fights. She appeared in celebrity reality shows including Celebrity Boxing (2002), The Surreal Life (2004), Celebrity Fit Club (2005), and Worst Cooks in America (2010). She also worked as a painter, mechanic, and landscaper in later years.
The 2017 film I, Tonya (directed by Craig Gillespie, starring Margot Robbie) brought renewed attention to her life story, earning critical acclaim and several award nominations (including an Oscar for Allison Janney as LaVona).
