This genuinely made me cry. This is HER moment and no one will ever take that away from her.

It's wonderful that this footage exists. For 2 decades she was a punchline but here is the proof that she is one of the all-time greats.

Kinda cool to witness one of the best moments of someone's life.

At the time of filming “I, Tonya” there were only two women in the world that could land a triple axle. Both were training for the Olympics and refused to be the skating double for fear of injury. They tried other skating doubles for the scene but none of them could land the triple axle. They ended up having to recreate the jump using visual computer imagery. So even nearly 30 years later, only six women have been able to do what Tonya did in 1991. That, ladies and gentlemen, is what you call a legacy.

and then there's me, still clutching the wall.

Whether you hate her or not, remember that only 2 American women have landed a triple axel in competition, Tonya and Mirai She is a legend and has raised the bar in figure skating and no scandal will ever take that away from her

The way the announcer praises her when she lands the triple axel “good girl! Oh isn’t that great! How nice, how terrific!” With such genuine excitement makes me so sad to know she never received that praise as a little girl.

Lots of people are talking about how sad it is that she wasn't given the credit she deserved, which I agree. But for the moment can we appreciate how charming it was when she came out of the jump and looked so thrilled and pumped her fists a little. She had a huge smile the rest of the performance and even the commenters were so excited for her which was so sweet. Love this video

I have never seen a skater cheer for herself mid-routine before. ^^ That was incredibly charming. What a great moment.

I feel so sad for her. She is clearly sooo talented but her skill was always look down upon bc she was not the "traditional classic beauty."

Talentossisima, vim lá do Quinta misteriosa com a Jaqueline Guerreiro ver o brilho de Tonya. 🍀💐🌼🌹

Vim diretamente do Quinta Misteriosa, da Jack Guerreiro, pra ver o quão incrível e talentosa ela é ♥️🇧🇷

Ya the triple axel is nice but damn that was a HUGE triple lutz. She has such effortless power. Even girls today bend way down to execute a triple lutz and Tonya makes it look so easy like she’s not even trying.

You can see how happy she was, she couldn’t contain her joy when she landed that triple axel, it just exploded out of her. She had such passion, wow.

She owned that triple axel move. She is definitely a badass. Mad respect for her skills.

1:14 she was so tilted in the air in her triple axel jump, and still managed to land it so perfectly. Amazing!

I love the commentators "So NICE! SO TERRIFIC!" He was genuinely happy for her. 😍

For those getting pissed who landed triple axel first. It's midori ito who landed it first overall woman. Tonya harding is the first AMERICAN woman to land triple axel

Makes me cry watching it. Seeing her pure joy at her accomplishment...it's so contagious.

After I saw the movie " I, Tonya" I always cry at the moment of the triple axel 😭

as they said, a performance for history.....still clear after 26 years

Tonya's jumps are very HIGH compared to today's figure skaters. I was looking through the current crop of US skaters and what people are saying is right. Many of today's women don't get the same height and seem low when they perform their jumps. Tonya, on the other hand, has her skates go well past the standing point of where her hips and stomach are when she takes air. I'm no expert but her power is even more obvious to me, after comparing the past and the present.

Quem veio aqui depois de assistir ao vídeo da Jaque , curte aqui ❤️

Vim do quinta mistério, essa mulher é muito talentosa e incrível, não merece tudo o q passou! Estou arrepiada com essa apresentação❤🤩 infelizmente foi injustiçada!

her reaction after she landed it was so cute

I always liked her even after the 'incident.' A lot of people didn't care for her because she didn't fit into the ice princess mode. Say what you will but NOONE had that kind of power in their jumps. It's nice to see her coming back into the public eye for all the right reasons. It's time and I wish her all the best.

Tonya landed the triple axel, she even landed more of them in more competitions. It doesn’t make sense why she would hurt Nancy Kerrigan, she married the wrong guy, Jeff completely ruined her career.

You could feel it in the room that people knew they witnessed history and that this was her moment and just wanted her to continue and finish out this performance as best as possible.

This is a perfect example of why people hate figure skating. The best skater doesn’t always win the competition. She was the best and judges didn’t like her, hence why often never won even though she did better than the winner.

I love the emotion in the announcer’s voice when she lands the triple “Good girl!” he’s so happy for her !

HOW did she make those jumps look SO EFFORTLESS?!?!? She jumps soooo high and barely bends her legs 😮

Ice skating makes me cry. Anyone else? So beautiful.

I dont know anything about figure skating what so ever and i dont know why im on this side of youtube but this shit was beautiful ✊🏿

Still gorgeous and untouchable. They can take away the awards but not the accomplishment. Brava, Tonya..

Tonya had such effortless power on her jumps and it’s truly beautiful. If the scandal had never happened I think she could have been known for so much more

Personally, I love her move at 4:20! What a kick!

It’s kinda sad tho, seeing her interviews where she talks about the attack on that other woman, it was her boyfriend and one of his friends that wanted to take her out for tonya, and tonya told them repeatedly not to frickin do anything but they still did

and on that moment, she was.... THE BEST IN THE WORLD. no one will take that away from her.

I skated with Tonya as a kid and she truly was a phenom in every sense of the word! To be on the ice with her at practice was amazing. She skated with such speed and determination. She was fearless! She easily could have won the world championship and the Olympics without cheating. Very sad. Still an excellent skater.

besides all her fantastic jumps, that triple loop at 2:23 was other-worldly. she got so much height that she still had time to open up in the air. it looked so effortless. i really miss her skating.

You can literally feel that this was the most amazing day of her life. It makes you really cheer up 😊

I never get sick of this.

I’m so glad there’s footage of her so we can all appreciate how much of a powerhouse she was at skating! Absolutely beautiful!

I will never forgive them for banning her from skating

There are top skaters today who couldn't get through this program with a single mistake. Say what you will about this girl, but this performance is untouchable!!

I love how she’s dancing to Batman and Margot Robbie is now playing her who of course now plays Harley Quinn.

That face at 4:42 is one of the happiest faces I’ve ever seen in my life. What a legendary moment ❤️

this routine is amazing. this was her moment and nobody can take that away from her

Margot Robbie portrays Tonya beautifully. ❤️

Neither Nancy or Tonya deserved what had happened to them. I dont believe she was involved in the attack. why would she want to put herself in that kind of situation? she was one of the best skaters in the world and a public scandal would do her no good. Nancy Kerrigan shouldn't have been hurt and Tonya shouldnt have gotten all the backlash that her stupid husband caused. They both deserved so much more

I, Tonya brought me here, and this woman is remarkable. No doubt the victim of a horrible life upbringing and relationship. I'll be a fan of hers for life. I remember watching her live as a 9 year old kid with my aunt and uncle, along with other greats, Nancy Kerrigan, Brian Boitano, Phillip Candelorro, Yamaguchi, Katarina Witt. Feels like so long ago. I'm glad her story was finally told.

2:24 Wow, just WOW, and she did that two times. This performance is simply perfect !! 👏👏😍 Her jumps were so clean. TOP skaters nowadays are good, but this girl was something else, her routine, as I said, was PERFECT 👏

We will never know if she was involved. Looking back at it 20 years later , she was a superb skater and didn't need any help. I think it was planned by her husband and the oaf he hung out with. They saw a chance to make money off of Tonya Harding and all the potential endorsements .

I can't explain how sad i am. She was terrific. They took her passion and destroy her world. I hope she has been able to rebuild her life in peace.

Tonya was ahead of her time. I appreciate her skating much more now than I did at that time.

Tonya Harding was way ahead of her time. Even today, triple axel in ladies figure skating competition is rare.

She's such a powerful skater, her jumps are hugeeee

I wonder how many people around the world rewatch Nancy's performances from time to time. A think zero. Nancy will never take fans' love from Tonya away.

the commentator saying “oh how nice! how terrific!” makes me want to cry :,)

Honestly I hate what happened to her. Its so heartbreaking. Wasted talent is a travesty and to see her complete that triple axle was so Awsome! Nancy couldn't even do it. Its just a shame that poor athletes that can't always look the part with pretty costumes and looks often get overlooked. Sad that she got caught up in all that shit with her husbands plot to hurt Nancy:(

I love this performance and her smile when she lands the triple axel, you go girl! Big time!!

This is probably one of the greatest moments of her life! You can tell as she skates how confident she was on ice!

caralho eu to toda arrepiada que apresentação incrível, tudo foi perfeito, o tanto de tempo que aplaudiram ela puta merda, foi um momento único que não vai acontecer mais

1:13 is when she performs her triple axel.

Her talent was one in a billion. She was one of the greatest figure skaters in the history of the sport(!). It doesn’t matter how many times I watch this. Her smile is infectious and this performance gives me the fucking chills 20X watches later. The skating association in 80s/90s during her heyday were a bunch of assholes. The system was totally rigged against her for superficial bullshit. She often did not receive the marks she deserved because she didn’t fit into their mold of The Image. After watching I, Tonya, I developed a fascination with the real Tonya, and I feel great deal of remorse for her. All the while the media painted her as this monster (and Nancy as the princess) that she simply wasn’t. I wasn’t born until 1992, so I don’t remember the scandal. But like I said, the movie (timed perfectly right before the Olympics) inspired me to learn more about her. This girl had a hell of a shitty life, but was so fucking talented. People say if only she didn’t have her mother and ex husband dragging her down she would’ve medaled a gold. What happened to her was absolutely devastating and a waste of talent. She may‘ve not wanted to “play along,” and some of her unpredictability did hurt her chances as well, but in the end I don’t believe she had anything to do with what happened to Nancy. She just surrounded herself with the wrong people. Today she says she is happily married with a seven year old son. I hope whomever she’s married to now treats her the way she should’ve been loved her entire life.

Wow, she is the rock star of ice skating in this routine 😍 I love how thrilled she was to nail each technical jump!

O talento!!! Me emocionei junto com ela, apresentação arrepiante 🥺👏🏽👏🏽 . PS: Vim pelo Quinta misteriosa 💛💛💛

Damn I, Tonya wasn't playing when they remade this scene lol. They even had the commentator VERBATIM.

Okay, this one is indeed untouchable.

Muito talentosa, uma tristeza toda sua históriaa.. se ela tivesse tido um apoio maior com certeza teria tido tudo que merecia.

This made me smile. Tonya had this moment and I’m glad she did.

The joy she showed carried this performance and endeared her fans.

3:04 watch her in slow motion she is literally FLYING.. she is INCREDIBLE!!!

She opened skating to Batman? Amazing!

This always makes me tear up, such a joyous moment, and everyone got to share it. I think Tonya was the most powerful skater I have ever seen. Just a joy to watch..

Somehow it is very touching to see how raw and amazing her talent was.

Now THIS is an extremely well-done and entertaining routine! Nancy and all of Tonya's other competitors were so boring in my opinion. Tonya was definitely the most talented!

I am not American ! SHE MADE HISTORY !!!!!! SHE IS A DIAMOND💎 THIS IS BETTER THAN ANY AWARD👑🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🏅🏅🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆2020 FABULOUS

4:53 I want to believe that's Allison Janney in the crowd studying for "I, Tonya"

She looked so happy after the dance, I love it

I cannot stop the tears from falling omg, this made me so emotional... so happy for her in this moment

Tonya will always have this brilliant beautiful moment frozen in time, the best ever. Love her!

Que apresentação linda, mas esse final me arrepiou!!

Tonya was so great in 1991. I loved the three-tier music sections - especially the "Send In The Clowns." Many stated she wasn't very artistic, but when she had the jumps she actually had very good artistry, I think. (I've always felt since was a good skater on her own merit that this was the reason she could never be a part of that attack on Nancy).

Badass

Wow. This is the first time I have ever seen this routine from start to finish and it is just amazing. Gave me goosebumps.

This program still puts the biggest smile in my face, no matter how much stake is evolutionated with quads and staff, this was powerful and artistic at the same time.

So... I’ve been watching this video for more than 4 times, is that normal? Her spirit was so addictive

I love this performance! She is completely FEELING IT! The triple axel is impressive but every time I see her do those moves from 4:13-4-18 I'm amazed she's still upright! 😮

Vim aqui rapidinho pelo vídeo da Jac! 👀🤩

I love the male announcers positivity. How long has it been since you heard someone use "terrific!" As an adjective? Lol.He was genuinely happy for her. I love this video.

That was offing BRILLIANT!!! Not to get in her business but I hope her son has seen this footage. He'd be SO proud of his mom :^) Not that he isn't already but you know. :^)

the male announcer sounds so elated haha

Estou emocionada com a história dela é um exemplo de vida guerreira e talentosa

she was truly amazing. i remember watching her at this period in amazement.

Sure Tonya made some mistakes but I think this movie will bring light to her horrible raising and bring attention to those who don't know about the greatness she brought to the sport of figure skating

It’s so exciting to watch someone achieve their dreams

What a wonderful moment in time for Tonya Harding!!! No one can take that away from her!!!

Excellent, she is such a powerful skater and that triple axel 😮. I wish modern skaters had the height of her jumps and speed of her spins.

I cried~ so beautiful
