30 FOR 30: "THE PRICE OF GOLD"
January 16, 2014  | By David Bianculli

ESPN, 9:00 p.m. ET

 

Hard to believe, but it was 20 years ago this week that the build-up to the Olympic Games made front-page headlines worldwide – because one U.SA. ice skater, Nancy Kerrigan, was attacked after practice, her right knee clubbed by an unknown assailant. The attack, it soon was uncovered, was a plot by Jeff Gillooly and his friends to incapacitate Kerrigan – because she was seen by them as the main competition for another U.S. skater, Tonya Harding, who was Gillooly’s ex-wife. This new 30 for 30 documentary, two decades later, examines just who was in on the conspiracy, its short- and long-range impact, and what happened to the skaters after the Olympics were over.
