I, Tonya

I, Tonya

The story of one of the best, famous and scandalous figure skaters of the 20th century - Toni Harding. She, unlike many of her colleagues, does not seem fragile at all, because she has passed the tough school of life. Her mother, Lavona Golden, raised her in incredible strictness and constant criticism - this is exactly what helped Tonya grow into what she has become. The girl is full of contradictions: she was incredibly talented and the first in the world to perform a triple axel in a competition program, but she was most remembered for her terrible character. It was normal for her to even be rude to the judges. But the apogee of Tony's life was the incident with Nancy Kerrigan, when Harding and her husband hired a stranger to break the leg of the skater's main competitor.
