I remember watching the figure skating finals four years ago on TV, and it was magical... I know, cheesey, but Sarah Hughes was too easy to love. I think in most people's minds, she is forever in lavender.
Here is something I find amazing. We all know about Tonya Harding clubbing Nancy Kerrigan at the knee via her goon at the 1994 Olympic tryouts.
The amazing thing is, when the Olympics competition rolled around between the nemeses, it garnered the 6th highest rating in American television history (four of the top five being Super Bowl games). Isn't that crazy? To top off the story, Harding had a miserable performance involving an asthma inhaler, tears, a foot on the judges' table, a broken lace, and a restart; while Kerrigan took silver. The outcome couldn't've been more appropriate.
