[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Other PP here. I don't know who is faulting Kerrigan, but I do think that she made herself rather unlikable with her lack of personality, and her facial expression (lack of sportsmanship) when she won silver, and marrying her married coach.  I don't think anyone ever expected Kerrigan to get gold (if I recall correctly). I definitely did not see Oksana coming, at the time.  She was just so fun, young, spunky, talented and full of likable personality.  LOVE Oksana, don't know what she has done since (I haven't really looked any of these people up).  PP here. Team Oksana, though! [/quote]

Kerrigan skated beautifully during the Olympics.  She was every much a contender for the gold as Oksana was.

Kerrigan had really been put through it with the attack, her recovery from her injury, the press and just the plain ugliness of what had happened to her.  It was A LOT for her to go through on top of the already intense training that all Olympic athletes go through to be the best in their sport.

Kerrigan really thought that she had earned the gold medal.  A lot of people did. And it was natural to want to see such a harrowing ordeal end with a gold medal.  I think that she was just plain emotionally spent when she stood on the podium and was honored with her silver.[/quote]

Ok Mr. Kerrigan lol[/quote]

Umm, no.  Just someone who saw this whole thing unfold on t.v.  Let's just say that I have a great deal of empathy for what Nancy Kerrigan went through.  I understand completely how draining that whole sordid nightmare must have been for her.  Some people on this thread make it sound like Nancy somehow really lucked out by getting attacked and that is a really unfortunate opinion.

Kerrigan was a gifted and determined athlete who did not deserve what happened to her. She has been married to her husband since '95 (22 years) and they have 3 children together.  It is her first marriage and his 3rd.  I hope they continue to do very well together.  She's earned a nice life.[/quote]
