IMO, she should have won based on the fact that she had cleaner technique than Tara Lipinski. Tara rotated fast, but her actual jump technique was poor - ie, her roller skating enterance into double axle and her "flutz". 2002, I would have had Kwan in at least Silver position, but the judges were in a pickle due to the ordinal system. It was either give Kwan the Gold for a flawed performance or have Irena place above Kwan to give Hughes the Gold. No one wanted to give Slutskaya the Gold...she is a piss poor skater outside of her jump technique. I agree with the first comment, Kwan didn’t choke in 98.

She is a 5 time World Champion for Heavens sake. Michelle should have won in 98 and 2002 (If judges didn't cheat to try and put Irina in first) Michelle only won silver and bronze at 2 Olympics Not 3. Michelle did not shrink on the world stage.
