Will victory go to the tough, hard-driven, huffing-and-puffing Tonya Harding? Her technical ability is unquestioned, although her gracefulness leaves something to be desired. Or will triumph fall into the lap of the perfectly pretty, endearingly vacuous Nancy Kerrigan? Kerrigan claims her knee has made a full recovery...
Along with the rest of America, we are 100 percent behind Nancy Kerrigan. And we are totally opposed to the idea of Tonya Harding strutting her stuff in Norway.
Whether she is guilty of planning the attack on Kerrigan remains to be seen. But Harding has publicly admitted to having been less-than-forth-coming with knowledge related to the attack it occurred. Many other questions about her role remain.
Certainly athletes the U.S.O.C. seeks to prevent from competing deserve the safeguards of due process. This was precisely the reason for the canceled administrative hearing. Which would have given Harding ample opportunity to defend herself against the various charges.
The evidence linking Harding to the attack, including accusations by Harding's ex-husband Jeff Gillooly that she had advance knowledge of the assault, gave the U.S.O.C. ample grounds for enjoining Harding from skating in the Olympics.
