I remember I was a little kid wishing they stopped showing that horse-faced lady screaming: NAncy Kerrigan "WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "whining and whining all over the news. It was too much. THen she said some really rude things when DIsney felt bad for her and allowed her to participate in something when she did not even win a gold medal. What an Ugly person. I was a model from the time i was six and always gracious whenever i got work which was often. I Did not like that woman. I felt sorry for the other fat woman-now i know it is Tonya because it was so clear that she was not the one the sports officials wanted to win. Tonja was a better skater. So there's that.
