Listen to ‘The Daily’: Tonya Harding Speaks Out

Twenty-four years after a rival was bashed in the knee, the disgraced figure skater is back in the spotlight. This time, she’s not necessarily the villain.

Tonya Harding had talent, but the world of figure skating wanted nothing to do with her. She was called “white trash.” And when Nancy Kerrigan was bashed in the knee just before the 1994 Winter Olympics, she became a villain.

Now, 24 years later, her narrative is being revisited — and she is back in the spotlight.

On today’s episode:

• Taffy Brodesser-Akner interviewed Tonya Harding (now Tonya Price) for The New York Times.

Background reading:

• With her life the subject of a new film, Tonya Harding has a few things she would like to clear up.

• “I, Tonya,” which was nominated for three Academy Awards, is only one of the projects that have reconsidered the class dynamics of the 1994 scandal.

• A Times sports reporter reflects on a quarter-century of covering ice skating. His first event: the 1991 U.S. championships, where Ms. Harding became the first American woman to land a triple axel.
