The movie is exceeding my expectations in terms of revenue
It has currently brought in about $21 Million.

Evy Scotvold always comes off as bitchy and obsessed with weight.
It is so weird to think an old fat man was saying this stuff.
Yep! He was our family's vet for years.This is too funny , my mother's friend in Walnut Creek, CA area has a vet named Terry Kubicka, he looks like a respectable professor....

Having watched the movie, I sometimes wonder if Nancy Kerrigan would have had similar media attention, the pro career, or the same place in figure skating history, if 'the incident' had never happened.
Harding’s name would still be mentioned in U.S. skating whenever the triple axle subject came up.
i feel like one of those baby boomers who only want to whine about how awful millenials are I fully admit that masterpiece theater being one of my favorite shows as a child, and interrupting the kids on the schoolyard who wanted to talk about welcome back carter to steer the conversation toward I,Claudius was exactly what made me an odd ball. So watching these two clueless people struggle for several minutes wondering where the title I, Tonya possibly came from was too much for me.
yes, but no. She was famous before it. It certainly made her uber famous, but while the fame brought people like Rory flack and Denise beilman out of mothballs to seize the moment, Nancy herself seemed determined to revert back to obscurity as much as possible. She certainly didn't carpe diem it. I kinda get her frustration that she wants to be famous for being a two time Oly medalist, but she'll always be famous for being attacked by her rival.Having watched the movie, I sometimes wonder if Nancy Kerrigan would have had similar media attention, the pro career, or the same place in figure skating history, if 'the incident' had never happened.
oh please. She did very well under 6.0 and could have done better but despite having proper guidance, ruined her own chances. She would have f-ed everything up under cop just like she did under 6.0.I think Tonya was very ahead of her time. She would have done well under IJS, with proper guidance.
I agree; she was unwilling to listen to; or follow, any good advice she received.She did very well under 6.0 and could have done better but despite having proper guidance, ruined her own chances. She would have f-ed everything up under cop just like she did under 6.0.
The problem with this analysis is that it assumes all the other skaters wouldn't have adjusted to IJS and that exactly the same players would have been in play. It also only takes into account the tech scores and not PCS.I think Tonya would have done better under ijs- especially at 93 nationals. Pretty artistic skaters like Ervin who only had up to a 3 loop would be too far behind under ijs, so under IJs, Tonya would make the 93 world team and possibly medal.
Evy and Mary Scotvold, as well as Carroll and Heiss Jenkins were starting to complain about Tonya's placements as far back as 92 nationals. The Scotvolds , Carroll, and Heiss didn't think Tonya should of made the team. One of Heiss's girls was 4th ( I think Ervin that year). Everyone knew Tonya had a bad ankle at 92 nats which is why she was monitored by the usoc after making the team.
I do feel Tonya's reputation as a coach hopper as a bit unfair since she only flipped between Diane and Dody. Bobek changed coaches more often than people change socks.

That seems to have always been true,

We can only speculate how 1993 judges would have approached those performances with 2003 or 2018 rules.
thanks, very funny review... (i could not watch, only listened.... because it is hella-hard to look at the cross-breed of Mike Myers and Richard Simmons in salmon shorts with testicles popping out).
Tonya did a benefit show in Portland in 1995 but I think it made just enough to cover the expenses and nothing was left to give to the charity. She skated a pairs number with a guy named Patrick (the video used to be up but I can't find it anymore). I think this event was also supposed to be part of a cbs "where are they now" special but the network and Tonya couldn't agree on terms. I am pretty sure there was a solo number in there as well. Fuji-Tv showed everything but only parts of it are currently online.I haven't kept up with this thread, but found this great Fuji TV interview from 1995. It's actually very sweet.

Trenary hadn't competed at Nationals since 1990 and officially retired in 1992.. . . Oh, and if they were going to send Ervin, then they might as well just send Trenary because they both had two 3T, two 3S plus programs but Trenary had a World Championship and the 3F while Ervin only had the 3Lp.
