Tonya Harding – From Respected Athlete to A Permanently Banned One

If you’ve watched I, Tonya, you’re familiar with Tonya Harding. She was a successful figure skater who became the first American woman to land a triple Axel jump. Unfortunately, that’s not what she’s remembered for today.

Tonya became notorious for an incident that involved her injuring her competitor to get the upper hand. Despite being banned from skating, Harding said on the Ellen Degeneres Show that she’s still actively skating and practices three times a week. Tonya also shared that she’s still training with her former coach, Dody Teachman. Well, we hope for nothing but better days for this once-celebrated athlete.
