## Resource

In the winter of 1994, figure skating stopped being just glitter and triple jumps when Tonya Harding’s story crashed into a hallway attack that shattered her rival’s knee and the sport’s reputation at the same time. Harding, tough, working‑class, and wildly talented, was suddenly at the center of a true‑crime‑level scandal after people in her orbit helped orchestrate the assault on fellow skater Nancy Kerrigan, turning an Olympic dream into a tabloid nightmare and forever tying Tonya’s name to the question: how far did she really go, and how much was she willing to let others do in her name?
