a two-time Skate America Champion. She became the subject of
controversy after her ex-husband, Jeff Gillooly, conspired with
Shawn Eckhardt and Shane Stant to physically assault her skating
competitor Nancy Kerrigan at a practice session during the 1994
U.S. Figure Skating Championships in Detroit.
