(Note of interest – the security team was dismissed after the competition; the USFSA board citing that security was "too strict". The following year, under different security arrangements, Nancy Kerrigan was injured by an attacker backstage. The attack a result of a reported conspiracy involving another competitor's husband and her security guard.)
