Tonya Harding Olympic costume up for auction

A costume worn by Tonya Harding at the 1992 Winter Olympics is being auctioned.

Harding’s black, sequin-trimmed dress from the Albertville Winter Games has a minimum bid of $10,000. The auction closes April 28.

Wearing that dress, Harding fell on her triple Axel in Albertville and placed sixth in the short program. She was fourth in the free skate and finished fourth overall behind Kristi Yamaguchi, Midori Ito and Nancy Kerrigan.

Harding’s letter of authenticity attested she also wore the costume at the 1992 U.S. Championships in Orlando, but she was mistaken.
