If Michelle had had one fall they still would have handed the title to her. But three mistakes, would have been too obvious, she gave them no choice.
Yep -- three mistakes, and you lose the gold medal. Had the judges held up Michelle's marks and awarded her the title, with Tara Lipinski's strong long program, there would have been a lot of hooting and hollering about the justice of figure skating judges.
