The story of Nancy Kerrigan vs. Tonya Harding | Worldation  
 Nancy Kerrigan                             Tonya Harding
  
 

Olympic hopeful Nancy Kerrigan was attacked at a Detroit
ice rink following a practice session two days before the
Olympic trials. A man hit Kerrigan with a club on the back
of her knee, causing the figure skater to cry out in pain and bewilderment.

When the full story emerged a week later, the nation became
caught up in a real-life soap opera.

One of Kerrigan’s chief rivals for a place on the U.S. Figure
Skating Team was
Tonya Harding

In mid-December 1993, Harding’s ex-husband, Jeff Gillooly,
approached Shawn Eckardt about somehow
eliminating
Kerrigan from the competition. Eckardt set up a meeting
with
Derrick Smith
and Shane Stant, who agreed to injure
Kerrigan for a fee.
