damn, that's going to be a really good buy! hell, robbie might even get a nod if she does Harding justice {nm} lobogotti Sep 11, 11:19

VF: Margot Robbie was unaware that Tonya v. Nancy was a true story until she actually filmed the movie sli Sep 11, 11:28

Fwiw, she grew up in Australia, not known for Winter Olympics. {nm} Antibody Sep 11, 11:33

although she probably wasn't old enough to care at the time, it was worldwide tabloid news {nm} slipping jimmy Sep 11, 11:42

We live in the U.S. where news is US-centric. When you travel outside aboard, you realize news is not so US-centric.. {nm} Antibody Sep 11, 11:52

i agree with you generally but you're misremembering how big a story this was, in the context of the worldwide Olympics, at the time slipping jimmy Sep 11, 12:19

They didn't win their first medal until 1994, so no. {nm} Antibody Sep 11, 11:48

UH, YES, Australia has been in the Winter Olympics since 1936. Lots knew. {nm} RotoHockey2013MainPort Sep 11, 11:52

"Not known" meaning "Not good". Participation doesn't mean the country excels. {nm} Antibody Sep 11, 11:55

Participation in a Winter Olympics does, however, mean that lots of Aussies knew. {nm} RotoHockey2013MainPort Sep 11, 12:03

dmac & roto arguments are so cute {nm} adrenalin112 Sep 11, 12:08

I will take the word of a real Australian Margo Robbie over a Canadian. {nm} Antibody Sep 11, 12:15

Lots of Aussies Knew (if not her) - FRONT PAGE - The Sydney Morning Herald - January 15, 1994. RotoHockey2013MainPort Sep 11, 15:26

SMH Article: FRONT PAGE Headline: GBH (Grievous Bodily Harm) On Ice: Rival Camp Accused. {nm} RotoHockey2013MainPort Sep 11, 15:28

Taking the Word of The Sydney Morning Herald Newspaper - FRONT PAGE Article. Lots of Aussies Knew. {nm} RotoHockey2013MainPort Sep 11, 15:34

Dude, even if it was news back in Australia, she was 3 years old when this happened. But then again, the Roto is always right. #Eyerollemoji The User fka Skamanfu Sep 11, 15:15

Roto knows who won the Australian Open when he was 3 years old. {nm} Antibody Sep 11, 15:37

and she was probably the better for it =P {nm} tealfan Sep 11, 12:03
