Ep. - 918 - THE NANCY KERRIGAN AND TONYA HARDING ICE SKATING SCANDAL

Lawrence Yee, Senior Editor of People Magazine, joins Kate to discuss one of the most infamous scandals in sports history, which occurred on January 6, 1994. Seven weeks before The 1994 Olympics in Norway, figure skater Nancy Kerrigan was attacked and struck in the knee with a baton, rendering her unable to participate in the U.S. Figure Skating Championships. The attack put Kerrigan's Olympic dreams into doubt, and focused suspicion on rival skater Tonya Harding. Within days, Harding's estranged husband Jeff Gillooly was arrested, along with three other men, while Harding proclaimed her innocence.   This year marks the 30th anniversary of the scandal.   Reality Life with Kate Casey Tickets to Live Show 2/28: https://improv.com/irvine/event/reality+life+with+kate+casey/12128905/ Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/katecasey Twitter: https://twitter.com/katecasey Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/katecaseyca Tik Tok: http://www.tiktok.com/itskatecasey Cameo: https://cameo.com/katecasey Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/113157919338245 Amazon.com: www.amazon.com/shop/katecasey See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
