Here is Phil Hersh's updated article on Michelle Kwan

I wonder if she means that she was cautious after the bobble on the flip in the short program during the 2002 Olympics. She fell on the flip in the long program. The triple flip was kind of like Michelle's nemesis at the Olympics. She didn't do it the short program in 1998 and had just a slightly shaky landing on it in the long program. In 2002, she had a shaky landing on the flip in the short program and fell on it in the long program. Except for these Olympic programs, the flip was always a very reliable jump for Michelle. It's very weird that the flip tripped her up arguably three times at the Olympics.
