Tonya Harding & Nancy Kerrigan's Knee-Smashing Olympics

Tonya's hubby and her bodyguard tried to break Kerrigan's knee before the 1994 U.S. Championships, causing an explosion of publicity. Tonya later admitted trying to cover up the plot, but was still allowed on the Olympic team. Lady Justice intervened to whack Harding, however, who finished 8th (and was later banned from professional skating), while Kerrigan won the silver medal.
