Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Sarah Hughes

Sarah Hughes was the surprise winner of the ladies event at the 2002 Olympic Games at the age of only 16. She was from New York and she skated to the music of Ravel & Rachmaninov.

2. Who won the men's event?

Answer: Alexei Yagudin

Alexei Yagudin had won 4 world championships, 3 European Championships, and one Olympic Games, but never a Russian national title. This showed the depth of figure skating in Russia. In 2002, at the Olympic Games he skated to the music of "The Man With The Iron Mask".

3. Who won the pairs event?

Answer: Tie between Jamie Sale & David Pelletier / Elena Berezhnaya & Anton Sikharulidze

There was a tie. The judges in a 5-4 split named Berezhnaya and Sikharulidze the winners, but it was clear to almost everybody watching that the Canadian's Sale and Pelletier had skated better, so an investigation took place. It was discovered that the French judge, Marie-Brenne Lagonia, had been pressured to give her votes to the Russians, and in an unprecedented action the IOC named the two teams co-gold medalists.
