The Detroit ice rink attack that shook skating

The Nancy Kerrigan attack at Detroit’s Cobo Hall still stirs up debate 22 years later. Right before the Olympic trials, Kerrigan was struck in the knee, sidelining her and clearing the way for Tonya Harding to win the championship. The plot, involving Harding’s ex-husband and a team of hired attackers, turned the skating world upside down and led to bans, confessions, and even a Hollywood movie. What do you think—did the punishment fit the crime? And has figure skating ever really moved past this wild chapter? #Sports #Detroit #NancyKerrigan
