The IOC, NBC and whoever the governing body of figure skating is should still be paying Harding royalties for what she did for the sport and the olympics.

On January 5th, 1994, nobody gave a damn about women's figure skating. By January 7th, the whole world knew what a triple axel was and parents were lining up to sign up their daughters in skating classes. The women's skating event would become one of the most watched competitions at Lillehammer.

Does Harding deserve credit? To this day she claims innocence of knowing an assault on Kerrigan would take place (I don't believe her). Maybe these royalties should be given to Jeff Gillooly.

So where is Jeff Gillooly today? Well, he's changed his name to Jeff Stone and, surprising to no one, he's selling used cars in Clackamas, Oregon.
