ABC'S Wide Side of Sports interview Nancy Kerrigan, American figure skater, about the day she was attacked, and what that will mean for her figure skating career in the future. In her first person account, Nancy lets the world know that she will not give up because she only wants to skate. Nancy Kerrigan is the 1994 Olympic silver medalist, the 1992 Olympic bronze medalist, a two-time world medalist, and the 1993 U.S. national champion. On January 6, 1994, she was clubbed in the right knee with a police baton by Shane Stant on the eve of the U.S. Figure Skating Championships at Cobo Arena in Detroit, an assault planned by rival Tonya Harding's ex-husband Jeff Gillooly and co-conspirator Shawn Eckardt. The incident became known as "The Whack Heard Round the World."
