The Scandal That Rocked Skating: How One Crazy Month Changed Nancy Kerrigan's Life Forever
in connection with the attack on Kerrigan. One of the men, 26-year-old Shawn Eric Eckardt, had a criminal record and had worked as Harding's bodyguard.
Asked about the prospect of going to the Olympics with Harding, she answered curtly,"I have nothing to say about her." Kerrigan was in first place heading into night two, and audiences around the world held their breath as she took the ice—and, happily, turned in a nearly spotless performance, executing only a double instead of a planned triple flip for her opening jump.
And with that, Kerrigan and Harding's paths diverged for good, though both journeys were shadowed in different ways by the seven weeks when their lives were inextricably linked. At the parade, Kerrigan was overheard telling Mickey Mouse,"This is dumb, I hate it. This is the corniest thing I've ever done." She insisted afterward that she meant having to wear her medal was corny, that of course she loved Mickey and Disney. Her appearance was panned, though in hindsight she was just as good as numerous male athletes who've landed the gig over the years. Her reaction to the slime wasn't jolly enough for critics' tastes.
