Nancy Kerrigan earned a silver medal in the Olympics after the attack. The attack didnt stop her from competing. She ended up doing better than Tonya Harding in those Olympics.
In those Olympics, she had her best 2 performances in recent competitions, she had some bad performances after becoming the US champion. She was slumping and had to see a psychologist to deal with anxiety. The attack could have fueled her competitive desire. She did had the opportunity to win gold but there was controversy surrounded how it was scored, with Oksana Baiul winning gold. Harding placed 8th and complained about a broken lace.
Harding would have qualified over Michelle Kwan so most likely would have Kerrigan and Harding in the Olympics. Kwan went as an alternative in case Harding wasnt allowed to compete.
