As for Tonya, she was always a lot more articulate than one expected, then and now. But her remarks show that she is still making excuses for herself: when talking about how she was given a chance to skate later on the night of the long program, which was an outright gift to her, notice how she complained that waiting that long was the reason that she skated poorly. There were other similar comments peppered throughout her account. At least she seems happy now, living productively, earning her keep, and raising a family. I too wish her well.
I thought it was well done. Mary Carillo did a good job letting the interviews flow and letting each of them speak.
I really enjoyed the post-video interview from Nancy with Bob Costas. It's actually really nice to see Nancy look so lovely and so at peace with everything that happened. And it's also really cool that she can still acknowledge Tonya's skating in such a positive light.
I thought this was the best side piece of the Olympics....I had forgotton about the incriminating notes in Tonya's hand writing confiscated by the FBI...I wonder what they said....?
I just saw it.
2. I forgot how unlikable Nancy was. I remember her to be aloof and annoying. The way she was talking like a typical middle class white girl from the Northeast who thinks she's the model citizen. Nancy got that condescending attitude toward Tonya the entire time even pre-attack. It would be frustrating to be in the vicinity with this kind of girl. She was like, nope, we never talked. Tonya was like, I see her all the time at competitions, rooming together, etc... Lulu was such a sweetheart compare to Nancy.
5. Tonya is original. No pretty princess nonsense, probably why she can't stand Nancy. She probably would club Gracie, too.
6. Nancy probably got some serious coaching to be empathetic in the one-on-one with Bob Costas. When Mary interviewed her, she was extremely unlikable.
Both deserved a few backhands. Tonya for being a lazy stubborn *****. Nancy for being a *****.
