2002 Olympics - Irina Slutskaya
This one may also have been done, but I'd be interested to see what everyone thinks. Where did Irina Slutskaya belong, in your mind, at the 02 Olympics? I have no argument with her short program placement. It was a nice performance and could have been 2nd or 3rd in my book. As for the free skate, I still don't understand how after such an uninspired skate she could end up with four first place ordinals. I would have had her third in the free skate with bronze overall. Even though Michelle wasn't very inspired either and had a fall, I just think she had a slight edge over Irina. And yes, it would have given Michelle the gold, but I just don't think Irina deserved that silver medal.
