'Villian' Tonya Harding Impresses With Dance Number

Tonya Harding rose to fame as an Olympic figure skater and world champion. She was at the height of her career when scandal brought everything to a halt. Tonya was banned for life from the U.S. Figure Skating Association when her ex-husband attacked a fellow skater, Nancy Kerrigan.


Today, Tonya is back in the spotlight as she competes on Dancing With The Stars with partner Sasha Farber. Even though she's banned from ice skating, Tonya isn't banned from dance and she's looking forward to performing again. She knows that her reputation definitely precedes her, but Tonya is keeping a positive attitude about this competition. For her very first number, Tonya danced the Foxtrot to “When You Believe” by Mariah Carey & Whitney Houston.

Her performance impressed the judges and she earned one of the top scores of the night. This is definitely an emotional process from Tonya and it'll be interesting to see what she does next!
