Tonya Harding did not deserve to be in the 1994 Winter Olympics, simply because of her unsportsmanlike act toward competitor Nancy Kerrigan. The fact that Harding had the nerve to hire a "thug" to take out Kerrigan's knee was awful. Clearly you have to be an awful person if you're okay with hiring someone to physically harm someone with a bat. If you are that worried that you will lose that bad, practice and train harder, don't harm someone.
After reading about what Harding did to Kerrigan, I felt so bad that Kerrigan's skating career was basically over with just a couple hits to the knee with a bat. I seriously can't believe the nerve of some people. I feel like they did the right thing by not letting Tonya compete after what she did. If I were them, I would have sent her to jail for 2 years, but that's just me. As an athlete, I hate when people have bad sportsmanship, and Tonya Harding is the definition of an unsportsmanlike person who deserves to live a life of guilt.
