10. My favorite quote from Nancy Carrigan...

"this is so lame" uttered when she was riding in the Disney parade. End of endorsements, Whoops!!!

Oddly, Tonya was building her whole life toward being that famous "spokes person", yet she gets arrested and the one that had the pretty smile turned out to be a dud.

My other favorite nancy carrigan quote, "whyyyyyyyyy????!!!!" after she got bashed in the knee.
