...Baiul left Lillehammer with a gold medal in women's figure skating, after surviving a collision during practice that left her with a bruised spine and three stitches in her shin. Nancy Kerrigan, clubbing victim, went home with a silver ... and doubtless a fistful of new endorsement offers. Her bitter rival, Tonya Harding, flubbed the technical portion of the competition, aborted her first pass at the long performance, complaining of a badly tied lace, and finished eighth. She returns to face legal problems...
