Actually it was left woman’s ex husband and her bodyguard who paid someone else to hurt right woman’s knee so she can’t compete in figure skating anymore.The paid person used a police baton at least according to Wikipedia but wasn’t able to hurt her bad enough to stop her from participating in future events.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonya_Harding
Specifically, see the section titled “Assault of Nancy Kerrigan and legal proceedings”
It was a pretty huge deal at the time, but has since faded.

Also alt.adjective.noun.verb.verb.verb was a pretty common name for, uh, shitposting newsgroups. Whatever we called shitposting back then, I can’t remember.

That I still remember both of their names is troubling when I can’t remember shit I actually care about.
