You probably remember the biggest scandal in figure skating history between Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding. There is a new movie that will tell the tale called “I, Tonya” and Suicide Squad star Margot Robbie will be starring in it! There is a new movie casting call for figure skaters for ongoing roles in the film. The movie will be filming in Atlanta, Georgia so local skaters are needed. The team is searching for males and females of all ethnicities and all ages. Figure skaters will be needed to shoot for various dates between January and March.

“Harding emerged from a poor upbringing and rough childhood in Portland, OR to rise to the top of the sport of figure skating with determination and athleticism that allowed her to become the first American woman to complete the triple axel in major competitions. She won the 1991 U.S. Figure Skating Championships and second in the World Championships, and was set for a showdown against fellow American skater Nancy Kerrigan. The fairy tale turned nightmarish, after Kerrigan was attacked by thugs who tried to break her leg. It turned out the culprit was Harding’s husband, who implicated his wife as he tried to stay out of jail. Kerrigan wound up winning the silver medal at that Olympics, and the completely distracted Harding finished eighth as her life was circling the drain. As the ensuing scandal unfolded, the USFSA stripped Harding of her 1994 championship and banned her for life”, according to Deadline.
