WOMEN

(Silver). Middle: (Bronze).]]

The competitors for the gold medal were Americans Tara Lipinski and Michelle Kwan . Kwan and Lipinski were in first and second places after the short program, respectively. In the free skate, both Lipinski and Kwan skated excellent programs. 6 judges placed Lipinski ahead of Kwan; three placed Kwan ahead of Lipinski. So Lipinski won the gold medal, and Kwan took the silver.

The competitors for the bronze medal were Lu Chen from China, Maria Butyrskaya and Irina Slutskaya from Russia. In the free skate, they all skated well, but had mistakes. The final placements were very close and far from unanimous. The 3rd-5th place votes were split unevenly between Chen, Butyrskaya, and Slutskaya. Chen beat Butyrskaya by the tally of 5 judges to 4 and beat Slutskaya 6 judges to 3. Finally Chen won her second straight bronze medal in the Olympic Games.

Interestingly, Tara Lipinski (Gold), Michelle Kwan (Silver) and Lu Chen (Bronze) were the World Champions in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
