The 2002 Worlds results were never debated, other than by the odd delusional extreme fan of some skater. Irina skated two clean programs and was the clear winner. Michelle made a major mistake in the short but skated an equal long program to Irina and was the deserving silver medalist. The long program result is irrelevant since Irina would have won even if Michelle had won the long program. Fumie Suguri skated a very good short and a decent but not great long and was the deserving bronze medalist, over Cohen who fell in the short and fell twice in the long. After all the drama of SLC , and the drama of the ice dancing at Worlds, the fairly routine and obvious results wise ladies event almost went by barely noticed, alot like the 98 Worlds.
