The head of the Korean skating team is accusing American skater Mariah Bell of intentionally slashing Korean skater Lim Eun-Suh with her skate during a practice session at the World Championships in Japan. The International Skating Union stated there is no evidence of intent, but the accusation has sparked controversy and comparisons to the infamous Tonya Harding-Nancy Kerrigan incident. Footage shows Lim grabbing her leg in pain after the incident. Lim's agency claims Bell had been bullying Lim for months, but US Olympic skater Adam Rippon defended Bell, calling the incident an accident.
