I find this completely fascinating.
With these appeals, hard to say when we could have a ruling, right?
Thank you for all these updates, Mario.
For our final story, we're heading to the Winter Olympics.
Millions of ice skating fans have been glued to the games this past week, watching the gravity-defying spins of quad god Ilya Malinin, or the fancy footwork of ice dancers Madison Chalk and Evan Bates.
It made us think back to two other U.S.
Olympian ice skaters who made headlines 30 years ago for their skating, and also for something that happened off the ice.
We are talking, of course, about the afternoon in January 1994 when 24-year-old ice skating champion Nancy Kerrigan was attacked at a Detroit ice rink by a man with a baton.
Dateline interviewed her soon after it happened.
This man was running with this stick just coming down at my leg.
Philip Hirsch is a special contributor to NBCOlympics.com focusing on figure skating.
Welcome to the show, Philip.
So let's remind people about Nancy Kerrigan.
She was such a big deal in the world of ice skating at the time.
Philip, Nancy was in Detroit getting ready to compete in the 1994 U.S.
National Championship.
She had just finished practicing for the day.
Take us to that moment where everything changed for her.
I remember it like it was yesterday.
Really?
