Harding is determined to skate -- and by braving the court with her case has made sure that the U.S. team remains Harding and Kerrigan. Now, sports officials are looking for ways to have the star-crossed duo practice separately until the women's figure-skating competition begins next week. Otherwise...

Aside from the fact that she looks like a man in a bad wig, she struggles to conceal her cockney accent and is inexpressive at best.
