Nancy Kerrigan

The American figure skater, who competed in single skating, twice won the world championships and won silver and bronze medals at the Olympic Games in the 90s, was remembered not only for her victories, but also for the high-profile scandal. Hired with the knowledge of a competitor man injured Nancy Kerrigan's leg, trying to prevent the figure skater at the national championships. A quarter of a century later, the story formed the basis of a feature film.

The future star was born in Massachusetts in late autumn 1969. Nancy Ann spent her childhood and youth in the provincial of Woburn.

In addition to Nancy, Kerrigan has two sons, Michael and Mark. The boys were interested in hockey. Following the example of the brothers got up on skates and 6-year-old Nancy, for which her mother took the girl to the rink in nearby Stoneham. The little skater quickly learned to skate, and the coach advised his parents not to back down, having given Nancy Kerrigan a great future in the sport.

Parents could hardly make ends meet: the head of the family made a living welding and worked three jobs to put the children on their feet. With no money to pay for his daughter's studies at the figure skating school, Daniel Kerrigan got a job as a driver of a car for pouring ice. For this, Nancy was trained for free.

At the age of 8, the girl confidently held on to the ice and performed complex elements, and at 9 won the first award. Until the age of 16, the athlete was coached by Teresa Martin, and then until the end of her career in amateur skating, Nancy Kerrigan was trained by mentors - the wife of Scotvold.

In 1987, the 18-year-old athlete took the 4th place among juniors at the U.S. championship. Sports commentators and fans noted both the pros of Nancy (strong in jumping) and the disadvantages of the figure skater, who was poorly successful mandatory figures. But Kerrigan worked the technique and the next year the girl was transferred to the adult category.

In 1991, in the sports biography of the "ice" star there was a breakthrough: at the national championship Nancy snatched bronze and got the right to perform at the world championships, where she repeated the success, taking 3rd place. Kerrigan's victory is notable for the fact that in 1991 the American women took all three stages of the podium: gold was awarded to Christy Yamaguchi, and the silver medal was won by Tonya Harding.

The following season, Nancy Kerrigan pleased the fans with second place at the American Championships and bronze at the Winter Olympics in Albertville, France. At the World Championships, the American was handed silver.

1993 was rich for Kerrigan: she became the champion of America, but at the World Championships in the Czech capital took only the fifth step, failing an arbitrary program. Russian Oksana Bayul won.

The following season, Nancy Kerrigan waived her sponsorship contracts and cut off her advertising job, focusing her on training. Conversations with a psychologist and hard work helped the athlete to overcome obstacles and prepare for the Olympics.

The incident in January 1994 almost disrupted the participation of the figure skater in the Olympics in Norway. Kerrigan was attacked by Shane Stant. According to the order of the ex-wife of Nancy's main competitor - Tony Harding - a man hit Nancy on the leg with a telescopic baton at the championship in Detroit. The moment of the attack on the figure skater got into the photo lenses of hundreds of cameras and caused a wave of popular sympathy for the girl.

Nancy Kerrigan suffered a severe bruise, but the bone remained intact. The girl was not able to participate in the U.S. championship, but the Federation included the figure skater in the national team. Kerrigan quickly recovered and began training. In Lillehammer, the American almost reached the top of the podium: the figure skater won a silver medal, losing the gold to Bayul.

Nancy Kerrigan found herself in the spotlight of the world sports community thanks to mutilation, and multiply the popularity of the bright skater helped costumes of amazing beauty. The girl was dressed as Vera Wong, a designer who became famous for her collection of wedding and evening dresses. In a white dress by Wong, Nancy caught the attention of the public in 1992.

Two years later, the couturier made the skater two more outfits: a black and white dress for a short program and studded with champagne-colored rhinestones for the arbitrary. It took $23,000 to make costumes for Nancy.

The American star set a point in his amateur career after Lillehammer, focusing his energy on participating in ice shows and musicals. Nancy Kerrigan appeared in the comedy "The Blades of Glory: Stars on Ice" and starred in the TV show on "Fox".

The former figure skater, famous for sharp but fair assessments of the work of colleagues, is invited as a commentator for competitions and tournaments. The ex-athlete is the author of the textbook "Artists on Ice", written as a manual for young skaters.

In 2004, the star was inducted into the American Figure skating Hall of Fame, and four years later Nancy dedicated an annual benefit at the New York Ice Theatre.

Nancy Kerrigan has an economics degree: The figure skater received her degree from Boston's Emmanuel College. After the end of her sports career, she set up a charitable foundation to support blind people by paying tribute to her blind mother.

In the mid-1990s, in the fall, Nancy went down the aisle with Jerry Solomon, 16, the eldest, who worked as Kerrigan's agent. For the athlete it is the first marriage, for Solomon - the third.

The marriage was born three offspring - two sons and a daughter. The girl appeared in 2008. The family lives in Massachusetts.

In 2010, Nancy Kerrigan survived the tragic death of her father, who died after a fight with her son Mark. The skater's brother was convicted, accused of manslaughter.

In 2017, the famous athlete was remembered in connection with the premiere of a black comedy called "Tonya against all." It's an excursion into the biography of Kerrigan and Harding, which laid the foundation of the film by Australian director Craig Gillespie.

It originally aired in Canada in the fall of 2017. Viewers of Russia saw the comedy in February 2018. Tony's role went to actress Margot Robbie, and in the form of Nancy Kerrigan appeared Caitlin Carver.
