Tonya Harding
Tonya Harding is an American figure skater whose career became ruined after she got accused of being involved in the attack of a fellow skater Nancy Kerrigan at the 1994 Winter Olympic trials. Harding was considered the best ice skater until 1995 when the said incident happened. Tonya pleaded not guilty as her ex-husband was the one who planned the attack. Eventually, she claimed guilty to hinder the investigation into Kerrigan’s assault, which allowed her to plea. That time her career was over as she got banned from competing as a professional skater for a lifetime by the United States Figure Skating Association. Since then, Harding has made guest appearances on TV shows like Rosanne, Larry King Live, and many more. Harding then returned to the public eye with the big-screen release of her movie I, Tonya, in late 2017. She then competed on Dancing with the Stars the following spring. She has since chosen to focus on being a mother and wife and resides in Washington State.

Kyla Ross
Kyla Ross was born in Hawaii, the oldest of three children in the family. Ross, at the age of fifteen, is the youngest American gymnast heading to London to compete in the 2012 Summer Olympic Games. Along with her childhood friend, McKayla Maroney both competed as part of the “Fierce Five” on Team USA, bringing back a gold medal in the team event. She later started going to school at UCLA, where she continued with gymnastics and competed on their collegiate team. The 11th NCAA gymnast to achieve a perfect score in 2019, she became only the second person with the distinction of earning excellent marks in a competition a week later. Ross’s role model is former Olympic gold medalist Shannon Miller. She believes that Miller is a powerful woman who has faced personal hardships but continued to stay involved in the gymnastics world.
