Yesterday, NBC confirmed that it would air its Nancy & Tonya documentary before the Sochi Winter Olympics Closing Ceremony on Sunday. The documentary will analyze the controversy that surrounded the attack orchestrated on Nancy Kerrigan by men close to Tonya Harding, her ice skating rival.

"Figure skaters Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding sit down with NBC's Mary Carillo to look back at the 1994 attack on Kerrigan that generated headlines and controversy for months," NBC said.

The documentary will explore the events that proceeded the attack, in which Kerrigan was clubbed in the right knee with a baton. Harding's husband, Jeff Gillooly and bodyguard, Shawn Eckardt, were charged with coordinating the assault.

"The docu, which combines present-day and archival interviews, practice and competition footage, and news coverage leading up to and during the events, includes a sit-down with Kerrigan and a one-on-one with Harding," Deadline reports.

As of January, Kerrigan, who is now 44 years old, has served as a figure skating analyst for NBC.

Nancy & Tonya premieres Sunday at 7 p.m. ET/6 p.m. CT on NBC. The premiere will be followed by a telecast of the 1994 Lillehammer Olympics ladies' figure skating short program competition.

Last month, Harding, now 43 years old, appeared on Access Hollywood Live. She continued to deny involvement in the attack despite a note written in her penmanship being found in Kerrigan's practicing rink.

"If they proved that I had done something wrong, how come I wasn't in jail?" Harding said. "They gave me 500 hours of community service. They sure nailed everybody else for doing things."

Harding said she is not concerned that her reputation is spoiled in the eyes of some Americans.

"I don't care," she explained. "Everybody is entitled to their opinion. It was 20 years ago. We both have gone our separate ways. Get over it, okay? It's 20 years. I'm sure that she's done, and I am too."
