After a practice session, Nancy Kerrigan was whacked on the knee with a metal baton by a mysterious man, injuring her so bad that she was unable to compete. Tonya Harding went on to win the competition, solidifying her spot on the Olympic team. Even though Kerrigan was unable to compete at the National Championships, it was later decided that if her knee healed, she would be given a spot on the team, as well. Harding’s win was quickly overshadowed by accusations that she was linked to the conspiracy against Kerrigan. Both Kerrigan and Harding went on to compete at the 1994 Winter Olympics, but they were surrounded by media frenzy over the attack on Kerrigan. Harding’s ex-husband, Jeff Gillooly, along with three other men, was accused and found guilty of plotting and carrying out the attack on Kerrigan. He believed that if Kerrigan was out of the competition, money and endorsement deals would be in Harding’s future. --- Condition: Good - some slight wear to corners, covers and corners clean - see pictures See more American History books and items in our Ebay Store!
