You may have heard about her in the news during the 90s, or even from the movie I Tonya which came out a few years ago. Now former figure skater Tonya Harding has joined Jono and Ben for a really interesting chat.
In case you don't the infamous news story that broke in 1994, where just prior to the Winter Olympics, figure skater Tonya Harding was involved in a scandal after her ex-husband ordered a hit job on Tonya's biggest competition, Nancy Kerrigan.
