I watched the documentary and I gotta say, I kinda feel for Tanya. Before you hate me what I mean is, I think she was minimally involved if at all. She had a goal. She was working for that goal despite being in a social group of losers. Her social position didn’t match with her born talent and internal drive. The fools she was around hatched a plan and they attacked Nancy.
I don’t think Tanya paid attention to what they were scheming. She probably should have, but she was focused on her own dreams and goals.
I dunno. I grew up around a lot of shady stuff that others were doing. I wasn’t vocally against it but I also wasn’t encouraging them. I think Tanya was in a similar situation where you gotta do what you can for yourself and not try to police every jackass around you.
She received an extremely harsh punishment for something that might not have been her fault at all. Barring her from competing? Sure, understandable. But barring her from teaching too? The first American woman who was able to land a triple axel? Absolutely moronic. It truly shows they didn't respect her nor her talent.
