Early life

edit

Kerrigan was born inStoneham, Massachusetts,[2]the youngest child and only daughter of welder Daniel Kerrigan (1939–2010)[3]and homemaker Brenda Kerrigan (née Schultz, b. 1940). She is of English, Irish, and German ancestry, and has stated: "There's very little Irish in me, just my name."[4]While her brothers Michael and Mark played hockey, she took up figure skating[5]at age six. She did not start private lessons until age eight and won her first competition, the Boston Open, at age nine.[2]

Kerrigan's family was of modest means. Her father sometimes worked three jobs to fund her skating career; he also drove theZamboniat the local rink in exchange for Nancy's lessons.[6]Kerrigan was coached by Theresa Martin until she was 16, then began working with Evy andMary Scotvold[7]after a brief period with Denise Morrissey. The Scotvolds remained her coaches through the rest of her competitive career.

Skating career

edit

Kerrigan began to reach prominence at the national level when she placed fourth at the junior level at the 1987U.S. Figure Skating Championships.She made an early impression as a strong jumper, but was comparatively weak incompulsory figures.[8]She made her senior debut the following season, moving up the national rankings each year: 12th in 1988, fifth in 1989 when she won the bronze medal at the1989 Winter Universiade,and fourth in 1990.[9]She continued to be held back by compulsory figures until they were eliminated from competitions after the 1990 season.[10]

1991–1993 competitions

edit

Kerrigan's rise at the national level continued when she placed third at the1991 U.S. Figure Skating Championships.She qualified for the1991 World Figure Skating Championships,where she won the bronze medal. Her medal was part of the first-ever sweep of the women's podium by a single country at the World Championships, as her teammatesKristi YamaguchiandTonya Hardingwon gold and silver, respectively.[11]

In the 1992 season, Kerrigan again improved on her placement at the previous year's national championships by finishing second. She won a bronze medal (Yamaguchi took the gold) in the1992 Winter Olympicsand earned the silver medal at the 1992 World Championships.[12]

The following season—with Yamaguchi retired from eligible competition—Kerrigan became United States champion, even though her performance was flawed. She admitted that she would have to improve her skating in time for the World Championships.[13]She won the short program at the World Championships inPrague,but had a disastrous free skate that resulted in her tumbling to fifth in the standings.[14]It was followed by an even worse performance at a televised pro-am event, where she fell three times, botched the landing of another jump, and appeared dazed and depressed, losing to 1988 OlympianCaryn Kadavy.[15]

Before and after the 1992 Olympics, she had many corporate sponsorship contracts (with companies such asCampbell's Soup,Evian,Reebok,andSeiko)[16]and opportunities to perform professionally, which were permitted after theInternational Skating Unionabolished the earlier strict amateur status rules that had governed eligibility for the sport.[17][18]In preparation for the 1994 Winter Olympics, she curtailed these activities to focus on her training, instead. She also began working with a sports psychologist to better handle her nerves in competition.[16][19]

1994 assault

edit
Main article:Assault of Nancy Kerrigan

On January 6, 1994, at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships in Detroit, as Kerrigan was walking through a corridor atCobo Arenaimmediately after a practice session, she was bludgeoned on the right lower thigh with apolice batonby an assailant, who was later apprehended and identified as Shane Stant. The assault was planned by rivalTonya Harding's ex-husband Jeff Gillooly[20]and conspirator Shawn Eckardt (1967–2007).[21][22]The conspirators' goal was to prevent Kerrigan from competing in both theNational Championshipsand theLillehammer 1994 Olympics.[23]

The attack's immediate aftermath was recorded on a TV camera and broadcast around the world.[24]The initial footage showed the attendants helping Kerrigan as she grabbed at her knee, crying out: "Why, why, why?" Kerrigan was also seen being carried away by her father, Daniel. Harding won the championship, withMichelle Kwansecond. Although Kerrigan's injury forced her to withdraw from the U.S. Championships, her fellow skaters agreed that she merited one of the two spots on the Olympic team.[25]The USFSA chose to name her to the Olympic team rather than Kwan, who was sent to Lillehammer as an alternate in the event that Harding were to be removed from the team.[26]

Kerrigan recovered quickly from her injury and resumed her intensive training. She practiced by doing complete back-to-back, double run-throughs of her programs until she felt completely confident in her ability to compete under pressure.[19][27]The fame caused by huge media coverage of the attack led to further opportunities; she was reported to have already signed endorsement contracts for $9.5 million before the Olympics began.[28]

Harding denied any involvement in the planning of the attack, but later pleaded guilty to conspiring to hinder the prosecution.[29]In late 2005, Kerrigan expressed objections to Shane Stant's wishes to have the attack removed from his record so he could join theNavy SEALs,which do not recruit anyone with a felony conviction. Kerrigan stated in a letter dated November 25, 2005, that "to allow Stant to have the attack removed from his record would not only be an insult to [her], but it [also] would send the message that a crime like that can ultimately be swept under the rug." Stant's request had already been denied by a judge, saying that it is against the law to expunge an assault conviction. Stant was 34 when he tried to remove the attack from his record.[30]

The attack was depicted in the 2017 filmI, Tonya.[31]

1994 Winter Olympics

Thewomen's single skatingevent of the1994 Winter Olympicsin theHamar Olympic Amphitheatreof Norway took place seven weeks after the attack, and Kerrigan skated what she considered to be the best two performances of her life in the short program and free skate.[27]She won the silver medal, finishing second toOksana Baiul,and ahead ofChen Luas Tonya Harding finished in eighth place amid controversy. Harding had trouble with her equipment (the laces on her skates) and was given a reskate by the judges. Kerrigan was in first place after the short program, but lost the free skate and the gold medal to Baiul in a close and controversial 5–4 decision.[32]

Kerrigan appeared to display dissatisfaction and disappointment with her second-place finish. While Kerrigan and Chen waited over 20 minutes for Olympic officials to find a copy of theUkrainian national anthem,someone mistakenly told Kerrigan the delay in the presentation was because Baiul had cried off her make-up and was getting it retouched. Kerrigan, with obvious frustration, was caught on-camera saying, "Oh, come on. So she's going to get out here and cry again. What's the difference?"[33]CBSchose to air the undiplomatic comment, marking a distinct shift in the way Kerrigan was portrayed in the media, which had been somewhat protective of her image up to that point because of the attack against her.[34]

Kerrigan elected not to attend the closing ceremonies at the Olympics. Her agent claimed this was because Norwegian security had advised her to leave due to death threats that had been made against her, but this was later denied.[34]Instead, she left Norway early to take part in a prearranged publicity parade atWalt Disney World,her $2-million sponsor.

1994 Walt Disney World parade

edit

Following the 1994 Winter Olympics, Kerrigan participated in aWalt Disney Worldparade. She was caught on microphone saying toMickey Mouse,"This is dumb. I hate it. This is the corniest thing I have ever done."[35]She later said that her remark was taken out of context and she was not commenting on being in the parade but rather on her agent's insistence that she wear her silver medal in the parade. She said that her parents had always taught her not to show off or brag about her accomplishments. She added that she had nothing againstDisneyor Mickey Mouse: "Who could find fault with Mickey Mouse? He's the greatest mouse I've ever known."[36][37]

Commenting on the media backlash,Mike BarnicleofThe Boston Globesaid, "Now the thing is over so we've got to kill her. That's us [the media], not her."[38]Either because of the bad publicity or her own inclinations, some of Kerrigan's previously announced endorsements and television deals were dropped after the Olympics.[34]

In the 1994 TV movieTonya and Nancy: The Inside Story,she was portrayed byHeather Langenkamp.[58]Years later, Langenkamp commented: "Good girls always get short shrift in this society, we want the story to be about the bad girl. I can't imagine a more admirable character than Nancy Kerrigan and it's too bad we don't make movies about people like that. People consider good girls boring, unfortunately".[59]

InTattoo Assassins,aMortal Kombat-stylearcadefighting video gamedeveloped in 1994 byData East(the release of which was cancelled, though rare, nearly-complete prototypes are in existence), one character the player can fight as is heavily based on Kerrigan. Namely, the figure-skater "Karla Keller" played by Cristine Dupree. Keller's backstory as given in the game itself has her as an Olympic hopeful but in a fictionalized version of the assault on Kerrigan, Keller's rival and fellow figure-skater "Eva Gunter" (a fictional version of Tonya Harding) attacks her late at night and injures her so much that Keller is forced to pull out of the Olympics. Since then, Keller trains in martial arts so she can one day take revenge on Gunter by beating her up. In the game, Karla Keller is dressed in full figure-skater attire (even wearing ice-skates) and like all other fighters in the game, has magicaltattooson her skin that come alive when the player performs special attacks and finishing moves.[60][61]
