I remember this whole thing, too. I was nine when it happened, though, so most of my memories of it involve the media discussions in the aftermath, and seeing the infamous clip of Nancy sitting there crying, "Why?" over and over being played constantly. I was neutral on them as well, but yeah, the media definitely loved to pile on the rivalry and whatnot. It was all very stupid and ridiculous.

And yes to Kristi Yamaguchi! I liked her, too :).

I was an adult when it happened but I was also mostly a fan of Kristi Yamaguchi. I kind of feel about it the way I felt about the O.J. Simpson trial series: I heard enough about them the first time and don't really want to watch them for entertainment. That's me though. Maybe other people are more interested.

Yeah, I totally understand that. Sometimes these stories endure because of some cultural/societal context (like with your O.J. example), and of course, new generations discovering these stories will keep the interest alive, too.

But for those who lived through the whole thing, it absolutely makes sense to be like, "Can we just move on now?" Especially if it's a story that only ultimately affected a small group of people, and wasn't really something that society as a whole needed to poke its nose into in the first place.
