The funny thing is, before i watched this doc, I was 100% sure that Tonya was guilty. Afterwards, well, now i'm not so sure.
Tonya, married to a wifebeater, which he after the divorce was convicted for against other wives. When Tonya was a teenager, she got beat up by her mother. I think she was afraid of her husband., and when she finally confessed to the prosecutor, obviously those sentenced would blame her.
Did the investigation happen fairly? did they have a bias? I think so, and because of that, the narrative was formed as i was and Tonya was convicted in the public.
Imagine the pressure Tonya was under after the attack, the press crews and to train with a crowd, while being scared of her husband, no wonder she crumbled in Lillehammer. Nancy was spared for any attention and could prepare for the Olympics in calm surroundings...she still won the hearts even though she was miffed by only getting silver.
Nancy was the pretty one, well she still is - a lot. But i'm glad i watched this doc with an open heart, because for 25 years i was sure Tonya did it, now I don't think so
Hadn't the attack happened, I think Tonya would have been a great politician, handling the pressure so well while be that young. I still think Nancy would have become the darling, her grace and refined talent made her a more complete skater. But nobody can take Tonya's triumph away from her, the triple axel, she was the first female american to do that.
