The Whack Heard Around the World
Oh, you mean the heartwarming tale of one talented athlete's quest for Olympic glory, which was temporarily sidetracked by a few slightly overzealous associates.
It was a beautiful display of dedication to competitive figure skating, where one competitor, Tonya Harding, decided that the best way to improve her standing wasn't to land her famous triple axel, but to engage in a highly elaborate, totally unnecessary, and surprisingly amateur theatrical performance involving a hired "security expert," a getaway car driver, and a telescopic baton.
The target, Nancy Kerrigan, was just minding her own business, showcasing the sheer audacity of being a rival and not requiring a triple axel. The goal was to give her a little nudge (with a weapon) to help her 'relax' before the National Championships.
