I have enjoyed watching Tonya (as well as Mirai and Adam) on DWTS. Tonya has a lot of elegance that I don't think came across when she was skating in her peak years of 1991-1994. I went back to watch some of her earlier programs, and she displayed a lot of elegance as a teenager, too.
Here's her in 1987: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJuZuqr8nXQ
For me, she didn't improve much artistically over her career from how she skated in the video above. Do you think she was responsible for some of the poor choices made in regards to her skating (such as the bad music choices, like the 1991 LP) or were her coaches to blame for the lack of improvement over her career?
