One year later, InterSport Television covers the Providence, Rhode Island, USA – 1995 United States Figure Skating Championships and how the Kerrigan scandal changed the course of figure skating forever. These first person accounts from people involved in the figure skating industry discuss how things like security have become more strict because of the Kerrigan incident. Nancy Kerrigan is an American figure skater. 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."
