Just as suddenly, goalkeeper Hugo Lloris was horizontal, photos freezing him seemingly floating off the ground in mid-save. His Belgian counterpart, Thibaut Courtois, nearly matched him, sticking out a foot to thwart an out-of-nowhere French chance....

So last week was Tonya’s turn. First came a “60 Minutes” story, a 1986 film on Harding made by a grad student: in it Harding’s coach claims Tonya’s mother beat her with a hairbrush and Harding herself detailed how her mother said her skating “sucked” right after her first national championship. “What a bitch!” the 15-year-old pronounced. Back in the present, Harding disclosed that she had indeed written a letter–presumably sympathetic and apologetic–to her injured skating rival, Nancy Kerrigan....
