THIS DAY IN SPORTS HISTORY- FEBRUARY 23/24

Olympic Free Skate 1994

"My lace broke, I cut it on the warmup, and then  it broke as soon as I got off. I went to try and tighten it and it broke. I only had two minutes to get out there before I would be disqualified. So I just laced it as best as I could and went out there."

- Tonya Harding

25 years ago this weekend at the media circus Olympic figure skating final, Oksana Baiul edged Nancy Kerrigan ( judged 5-4) for the gold medal. Kerrigan's rival Tonya Harding finished eighth in Lillehammer, Norway.
