A controversial decision which extended the Russian dominance of pairs skating at the Olympics. Salé/Pelletier were the crowd favorites and skated a flawless program, while Berezhnaya/Sikharulidze stumbled during their double axel. Minutes before the Canadians went on, Salé accidentally collided with Sikharulidze and was rather shaken.

Judges from Russia, the People's Republic of China, Poland, Ukraine, and France placed the Russians first; judges from the United States, Canada, Germany, and Japan gave the nod to the Canadians. The International Skating Union announced a day after the competition that it would conduct an "internal assessment" into the judging decision. On February 15 the ISA and IOC, in a joint press conference, announced that it would award a second gold medal to Salé and Pelletier, and that Marie-Reine Le Gougne, the French judge implicated in collusion, was guilty of "misconduct" and was suspended effective immediately. Berezhnaya and Sikharulidze are allowed to keep their gold medal as well. February 15 is the 46th day of the year in the Gregorian Calendar. ...

Complicating the issue is Le Gougne's subsequent recanting of her story of collusion. The investigation continues as of this writing.
