Mathman said:How ironic. Tiger Woods' record (listed in the article along with Michelle's) of making the cut in 142 straight tournaments, dating back to 1998, came to an end yesterday. He bogeyed the last hole and missed the cut at the Byron Nelson Classic yesterday. In another twist, it was Nelson who held the old record of 113.
I guess this would correlate with Michelle's streak for making the podium in consequtive events. I wonder how many it was. Did her streak last from 1995 Worlds to 2005 Worlds?

Michelle didn't make the podium in 1995 Worlds -- she came in fourth. She had medaled at other events (including things like SA -- the GP didn't exist) but it was at the beginning of the '95/'96 season Skate America (or actually a pre-season cheesefests) that the formal streak began. She actually does hold the record for consecutive medals if only the number of events is counted -- Sonia Henie only had to do Nats, Worlds, Euros (the last six years of her career only) and an Olys every four years.
