Im gonna watch 'Anything to Win' tonight which is about Tonya Harding and the frightful sordidness that happened to her rival Nancy Kerrigan. I don't really know much about this apart from Nancy's knee got bit of a 'rough housing' before a crucial skating tournament that would have maybe seen her being picked for the olympics.
Im also watching it because from the pictures I remember of the 1994 Tonya are of this slim pretty blonde girl. But the trailers on TV show a woman with long dank dirty looking blonde hair and carrying a 'few extra pounds'. It might be just a trick of the TV lights I suppose.
It also reminds me of when I last saw Steve Ovett on TV. We all remember Steve Ovett's running skills and rivalary with Seb Coe. Steve was as skinny as a rake. Last time I saw him on TV he had long grey hair tied in a pony tail, and he had obviously relaxed his training somewhat! The only thing that is fast in his life these days is his food it would seem!
I was watching the news tonight and there was a report about a cheerleader who had fallen from the top of a human pyramid, landed on her head and suffered concussion. I know I shouldn't laugh, but as she was positioned on the stretcher, her neck in a brace, she continued to go through the motions of the cheer! She was waving her hands all over the place and finishing the chant! Surely the paramedics should have restrained her in case she had done any serious damage to her neck or back?!

Ah! Tonya has put some pounds on - but its all muscle. Shes now a professional boxer and looks pretty toned when shes in her boxing kit.
I never realised she was banned for life from skating, for something that her husband and his mates did, well thats what the documentry said anyway, she got 3 years probabtion for obstructing justice. She made the point that being banned was a little harsh, when Mike Tyson got a slap on the wrist for biting an ear off, which I think is a fair point, but im not gonna tell Tyson :-)
Oh well, its who wants to be a millionaire now...!
its a good job that cheerleader fell on her head, anywhere else she might have hurt herself, you know what they say "where there is no sense there is no feeling"
a bit like when they go to war against little countries, only challenge tin pot regimes.they dont want iran to have nuclear weapons but i dont see them speaking out against anything china is doing.
