...this year all that gauze and grace will not conceal the fact that skating has been marred by the spectacle -- part crime show, part soap opera -- of Tonya Harding, her spooky husband and seedy associates all blaming one another for last month's attack on her rival Nancy Kerrigan. 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...

...Harding is a powerful skater with a mighty jump. Just as impressive to a connoisseur is the forceful way she strokes along -- almost into -- the ice. It's sheer, thrilling athleticism. But Harding's body is not ideal; she has thick thighs and forearms. Also, she is not musical. Kerrigan is -- and a good deal else. She is a good jumper when not plagued by nerves. Her balance of skills is the strongest among women skaters, and she performs with an undulating, pleasing lyricism. To complete the picture, she is lovely to look at, with a lean musculature, sculpted features...
