Nancy Kerrigan Speaks Out About Tonya Harding 20 Years After Infamous Scandal

As God is my witness...

http://www.people.com/people/mobile/article/0,,20789297,00.html

It was the whack heard around the world and Nancy Kerrigan has been largely silent about it – until now.

The now-retired Olympic medal-winning figure skater agreed to participate in the NBC documentary Nancy & Tonya, which debuts Sunday just before the Winter Olympics closing ceremony. Its airing marks the 20th anniversary of the 1994 Winter Olympics figure skating competition and highlights the scandal that gripped the nation.

Both Kerrigan and Tonya Harding – who has been more vocal over the years about the infamous incident – sit down for the documentary and offer differing viewpoints on what happened after Kerrigan was struck in the knee just prior to the U.S. Figure Skating Championships in Detroit in January 1994.

"It's sad, the bizarre craziness that all transpired," Kerrigan says in the documentary, per the New York Post. "It's too bad, because she's talented."

But the state of American figure skating is pretty bad, not much to post about except decades old scandals.
