TORONTO (January 16, 2014) – The Canadian broadcast premiere of ESPN’s much-anticipated 30 FOR 30 documentary THE PRICE OF GOLD airs Sunday, Jan. 19 at 7:30 p.m. ET on TSN. From filmmaker Nanette Burstein (On the Ropes), THE PRICE OF GOLD revisits the saga that rocked the figure skating world ahead of the Lillehammer 1994 Olympic Winter Games: the assault on Nancy Kerrigan, and the plot that led its way back to her rival Tonya Harding.
THE PRICE OF GOLD will have encore broadcasts on Wednesday, Jan. 29 at 1 p.m. ET on TSN and Thursday, Jan. 30 at 1:30 a.m. ET and 8 p.m. ET on TSN2.
About THE PRICE OF GOLD
The world couldn’t keep its eyes off two athletes at the 1994 Winter Games in Lillehammer – Nancy Kerrigan, the elegant brunette from the Northeast and Tonya Harding, the feisty blonde engulfed in scandal. Just weeks before the Olympics, on Jan. 6, 1994 at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships, Kerrigan was stunningly clubbed on the right knee by an unknown assailant and left wailing, “Why, why, why?” As the bizarre “why” mystery unraveled, it was revealed that Harding’s ex-husband, Jeff Gillooly, had plotted the attack with his misfit friends to literally eliminate Kerrigan from the competition. Now two decades later, THE PRICE OF GOLD takes a fresh look through Harding’s turbulent career and life at the spectacle that elevated the popularity of professional figure skating, and has Harding still facing questions over what she knew and when she knew it.
