Actually, it was an unprovoked, sudden, and brutal assault and battery on Nancy Kerrigan by Tonya's then-husband, Jeff Gilooly. Kerrigan's injury forced her withdrawal.

After Harding admitted to helping to cover up the attack, the USFSA and United States Olympic Committee initiated proceedings to remove her from the 1994 Olympic team, but Harding retained her place after threatening legal action.[5] She finished eighth, while Kerrigan, who recovered from her injuries, finished second.

There wasn’t really a cat fight, Tonya had some joker bask Nancy in the leg with a bat. Not much cat fighting there. There was a good scene though where Tonya cried to the judges that her shoe lace had come untied and she needed another chance, didn’t work though.

I know what you're saying but the only thing I'm REALLY concerned about right now is our military in harm's way what with this backwards-priority, celebrity worshipping clown in the WH.

Nothing else to me comes close than this concern. We didn't lose in VN but the 60s hippies, the Leftwing press and its minions caused us to defund the mission, sell out our loyal allies as the Khmer Rouge and Pol Pot so clearly illustrated what ruthlessness is all about.
