Maybe that's because, by his account, she has already made a haul in excess of $10 million, even though, in the opinion of her coach, Evy Scotvold, "she didn't come off looking very good" after making some "terrible mistakes." Scotvold says Kerrigan should have been home resting after the Olympics rather than coming off as bratty in public appearances she was too exhausted to make. He mentioned the infamous Disney parade in which Kerrigan shared a float with the famous rodent and accurately confided, "This is so corny...
Afterward, Kerrigan said, "For me, in my mind and my heart I won. I've learned a lot about myself these last couple of months. There are always some doubts, but I didn't let them enter this year."

Now, says Evy Scotvold, "she's very, very determined. She's got a mission in life; she's absolutely certain she's going to get that gold...
...rival last week, Kerrigan said, "I think it's personal, and between the two of us and not you guys." When she chatted with her coaches and doctor at rinkside, someone lowered a boom mike to pick up the conversation. "Can they do that?" she asked. Says Evy Scotvold: "She just can't get any space. She's never had this kind of impact." Now that Harding is Norway-bound, the frenzy will be greater. Both American contestants face a battle for focus. And in this situation, there is no court where Harding...
