Tonya Harding Whacks Nancy Kerrigan before the Olympic Games in Lillehammer, Norway. You can say all you want about how plotting to take out your rival before the Games is in violation of everything the Olympic movement stands for, with no pretenses of good, fair, and honest competition that the ancient Greeks harped on so much about.
Thanks to the media, the ´94 Winter Games had the best ratings ever. And all because of controversy. For what would the Olympics be without controversy. Boring, lifeless and dull. It´s the Omarosas of the world that make life bitter sweet; the fetching personalities of Games past and present. Without them, and without the media to dote on them, we´re really just watching a bunch of guys in tight shorts run around in circles every four years.
The ironic thing about this incident (or maybe because of it) is that today Tonya Harding is still in the news, though usually for the wrong reasons. Where´s Nancy Kerrigan? What´s she doing? Does anyone care? Why isn´t the news keeping us up to date with her!? It is imperative that we know this shit!
