Reply to comment by HPmoni in TIL: The final night of women's figure skating in 1994's Winter Olympics is the 6th highest rated TV broadcast in US history. Remembered for the Kerrigan-Harding subplot, 48.5% of all households with a TV watched the final. Since then, no other broadcast has matched that rating. by theotherbogart

My favorite part of that whole debacle was how in the end, neither of them won. The winner was a teenager that nobody had ever heard of.
