While practicing for the Winter Olympics in Detroit, MI, on Jan. 6, 1994, Kerrigan was struck in the legs with a metal baton at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships, an assault later tied to competing skater Harding's husband, Jeff Gillooly, and her bodyguard, Shawn Eckardt. Though Kerrigan ultimately recovered to win silver at the Winter Olympics weeks later, the scandal’s cultural impact has endured for decades.
The skaters' story had resurfaced in the film I, Tonya, which starred Margot Robbie as Harding, but at the time, Kerrigan wasn't focused on the past. “My job is being with my kids after school and asking them how their day was," Kerrigan said in 2017. Kerrigan went on to write a children's book and continued to skate, performing as recently as 2025's Holiday Spectacular on Ice in New York. She also joined the cast of Dancing With the Stars Season 24.
"I'm surprised that anyone is still interested in the incident from 30 years ago, especially considering there are so many problems in our country which concern us all, and I was only charged with hindering prosecution for not coming forward soon enough," Harding told PEOPLE in 2024 in reflection of the 1994 attack.
