I, Tonya [2017]

Based on the unbelievable, but true events, is this darkly comedic tale of American figure skater, Tonya Harding, and one of the most sensational scandals in sports history. Though Harding was the first American woman to complete a triple axel in competition, her legacy was forever defined by her association with an infamous, ill-conceived, and even more poorly executed attack on fellow Olympic competitor Nancy Kerrigan.

This movie won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress (Allison Janney) as Harding's mom. and Margot Robbie was nominated for Best Actress for her role as Tonya Harding.
