Tonya Harding


Before she even needed to worry about student loans, Tonya Harding already began her career as an ice skater. At just four years old, Tonya already began learning the ins and outs of the sport, and not long after, joined in more than a few competitions. Since then, years after she bade farewell to the ice rink, Tonya has become a subject for several books and documentaries. The most notable one, however, is arguably the 2017 biopic I, Tonya, with Margot Robbie portraying the ice skater.

Like the previously-mentioned Kate Flannery, Tonya had the chance to burn off some pounds when she competed in Dancing with the Stars. Despite not winning the overall competition, in the end, the former ice skater never fails to acknowledge how much of an honor the experience was. In fact, she’s even mentioned that she would love to continue taking dancing classes, this time as a healthy recreational pastime.
