=== Nancy Kerrigan ===
On {{start date|1994|1|6}}, one day before the [[1994 United States Figure Skating Championships|U.S. Figure Skating Championship]] first Ladies' Singles competition, [[Nancy Kerrigan]] was attacked in a corridor after a practice session at the Detroit [[Cobo Center|Cobo Arena]]. The aftermath of the attack was recorded on a news camera and broadcast around the world. The assailant was Shane Stant, contracted to break her right knee; he turned himself in to the [[FBI]] in Phoenix on January 14.<ref name="anatomy of plot"/> Stant and his uncle, Derrick Smith, were hired for this assault by Harding's ex-husband, Jeff Gillooly, and her bodyguard, Shawn Eckardt.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://sportsworld.nbcsports.com/nancy-tonya/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180707093538/https://sportsworld.nbcsports.com/nancy-tonya/ |archive-date=July 7, 2018 |work=NBC SportsWorld |title=Nancy & Tonya |year=2014 |type=documentary}} Tonya telling a reporter "Shawn is my bodyguard" while he walks beside her on January 10, 1994 - time code ca 0:29:14</ref> After failing to find Kerrigan in Massachusetts, Stant had taken a 20-hour bus trip to Detroit.<ref name="Traveling">{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1994/01/23/sports/figure-skating-traveling-far-and-lying-low-to-get-nancy-kerrigan.html|title=Traveling Far and Lying Low to Get Nancy Kerrigan|work=[[The New York Times]]|first=Joseph B. |last=Treaster |date=January 23, 1994|access-date=July 9, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180710071440/https://www.nytimes.com/1994/01/23/sports/figure-skating-traveling-far-and-lying-low-to-get-nancy-kerrigan.html |archive-date=July 10, 2018|url-status=live}}</ref> Nancy Kerrigan was walking behind a curtain when Stant rushed behind her. Using both hands, he swung a 21-inch (53&nbsp;cm) [[ASP, Inc.|ASP]] [[telescopic baton]] at her right leg, striking above her knee. The attack was intended to seriously injure Kerrigan so that she could not compete in the Nationals (Kerrigan was the defending [[1993 U.S. Figure Skating Championships|1993 Champion]]) nor the Winter Olympics. Kerrigan's leg was not broken but severely bruised, forcing her to withdraw from the Championships, and forgo competing to retain the U.S. Ladies' title.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1994/01/07/sports/figure-skating-kerrigan-attacked-after-practice-assailant-flees.html|title=Kerrigan Attacked After Practice; Assailant Flees|work=[[The New York Times]]|first=Jere|last=Longman|date=January 7, 1994 |access-date=July 11, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180711055918/https://www.nytimes.com/1994/01/07/sports/figure-skating-kerrigan-attacked-after-practice-assailant-flees.html|archive-date=July 11, 2018|url-status=live}}</ref> On January 8, Harding won the U.S. title; she and Kerrigan were then both selected for the [[United States at the 1994 Winter Olympics|1994 Olympic team]].<ref name="Traveling"/>
