The Price of Gold, ESPN: 30 for 30 2014.
This tells the story of Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding, who competed in women's figure skating at the 1994 Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway. Just a few weeks previous, Nancy Kerrigan was brutally hit in the knee by an unknown assailant with a metal bar. Turns out this attack was initiated by Tonya Harding's ex husband, Jeff Gillooly. Although Harding, appears to have not known about the attack before hand, the question is when did she know. She was allowed to compete in the Olympics that year, and the scene of here and the broken lace took place. She did not place. On the other hand, nancy Kerrigan took silver. She had to rehab her knee, and work hard, and overcame the diversity.
After the event, Tonya Harding was banned from the sport. She plead guilty to a conspiring to hinder prosecution. There is still controversy over how much she knew. For some the Olympics are more than sport.
