Extractions: When Jamie Sale / David Pelletier (CAN) delivered the free skating performance of their career only to come up on the short end of a 5-4 split of the judging panel to Russia's Elena Berezhnaya / Anton Sikharulidze for the gold medal, official and unofficial protests rained down on the judges and the International Skating Union (ISU). Within hours of the announced result, a story began surfacing involving the swapping of judging favors that threatened to taint the outcome of the ice dancing competition to begin later that week. Within days, the ISU acknowledged that it had seen enough evidence in the matter to recommend that the International Olympic Committee award an unprecedented second gold medal to the Canadians.

Extractions: SITE INFOS Site Map Search FAQ (in German) Awards ;-) (in German) Help Ladies It looked as it might be an easy competition for two time European Champion Irina Slutskaya (Russia), since her main rivals such as Michelle Kwan, Tara Lipinski or Vanessa Gusmeroli didn't come to Germany. But the 18-year-old from Moscow had an unpleasant surprise when she erred in her short, and when the former German star Tanja Szewczenko celebrated an unexpected comeback after one and a half year of illness (viral infections). It was Szewczenko who won short and long program, took home the Gold medal and 30 000 US-Dollars price money. Even with a two-footed double axel, the 20-year old from Dortmund took the lead in the short, since everyone else made worse mistakes. Slutskaya two-footed her triple lutz, doubled the loop and landed it also on two feet. She was only fifth. The German Champion Eva-Maria Fitze from Munich doubled her lutz and had no combination. This short program was definitely not one of the highlights in figure skating.

Extractions: Paula Slater The women's event for the 2000 World Figure Skating Championships began with the Qualifying Free Skating on 29 March and ended with the free skate on 1 April. There were 45 competitors in all this year and 24 placements. It didn't look good for Michelle Kwan, the two-time world champion from the U.S., after the qualifying free skate which accounted for 20 percent of the total score. The American was third behind the two Russian skaters, Irina Slutskaya and Maria Butyrskaya. Kwan and Slutskaya both performed six triples without falling, however, five of the seven judges clearly favored Slutskaya's artistic performance over that of Kwan's. Meanwhile, in a separate group, Butyrskaya led the other program, tying with Slutskaya in front of Kwan by doing six triples as well. Only major flaw in her program was that she put her hand down on a double axel. In the short program, Butyrskaya skated to "

ESPN.com - SKATING - Slutskaya Edges Kwan In Short Program a difficult time defeating her main rival, irina slutskaya, this season to win worldslast year, beating slutskaya in the her face as she floated along the ice. http://espn.go.com/skating/news/2001/0323/1160733.html
Extractions: Regardless, Slutskaya's mastery of Michelle Kwan carried through the short program in the World Figure Skating Championships on Friday. Michelle Kwan has had a difficult time defeating her main rival, Irina Slutskaya, this season. "Our styles are completely different. Michelle has a more lyrical style and my programs this year are more upbeat," Slutskaya said. "So it's very hard to compare each other." The Russian, who beat Kwan in three of their last four major events, including the last two Grand Prix finals, was first with seven judges. She built the edge with her speed across the rink; an amazing 16-revolution layback spin that requires only eight turns; and, perhaps, a slight bobble by the American. Slutskaya also flowed better than the three-time world champion and five-time U.S. winner. "Today was like a warmup for tomorrow," said Slutskaya, who never has won this crown. "Today was important, too, but whoever wins the free program wins the championship, and I waited so long for this championships to come."
Extractions: She was beaten twice by Irina Slutskaya. She had to listen to the increasing clamor of critics who said she no longer had the technical tricks to stay on top. She could practically feel the blades of Sarah Hughes and the other upstarts on her heels. Michelle Kwan has become the favorite heading into the 2002 Olympics after winning her fourth world title. All this, and the Salt Lake Olympics only 11 months away. "I didn't believe in myself," Kwan admitted. "I was sort of lost and didn't know what I was doing. The last month I understood this was my goal. "I've had a roller-coaster year and to end like this, it's truly amazing." Amazing, indeed. Kwan won her fourth title at the World Figure Skating Championships on Saturday, solidly establishing herself as the woman to beat in Salt Lake. The last four women who won the world title the year before the games went on to win Olympic gold, too.

Extractions: Michelle's teammate, Sasha Cohen, fared worse in her short program. She fell on a double axel and touched her hand on the ice. She received low scores in her technical marks, which ranged from 5.0 to 5.4. Sasha also stumbled in her long program. She fell on two of her triple jumps and two-footed another one. Her extension, back positions, and artistry were excellent, but were not enough to compensate for her mistakes. Cohen finished in fourth place. Irina Slutskaya, on the other hand, skated a flawless short program. She completed a difficult triple lutz-double loop combination, as well as a footwork sequence performed all on one foot. She was rewarded for her impressive skate with two 6.0's from the judges. Irina's strong and energetic short program was followed by an excellent free skate. Since she was the first skater in the final group, Irina had to wait while the remaining skaters performed. Slutskaya completed six triple jumps, but she did not attempt a triple-triple combination, leaving the door open for Michelle and Fumie Suguri of Japan. Michelle skated next and her long program rivaled Irina's in technical content and artistry. She also completed six triples, but did not complete a triple-triple combination. She needed to win the free skate, and another skater would need to beat Slutskaya, in order for Kwan to win the gold. Unfortunately, Kwan did not score as high as Irina with the judges, and finished in second place.
