Irina Slutskaya (RUS) - XIX Olympic Winter Games, Figure Skating, Ladies' Long Program (CBC)

Irina Slutskaya, second after the short program had a chance of winning Olympic Gold, after Michelle Kwan of the United States did not skate cleanly. A conservative program had the judges place her second in the long program and she finished with the silver medal overall.

5.9's for her artistic score....are you kidding me, more like 5.7! Bad luck for Michelle it was not her best night, or she would have won gold.

Does anyone know what the commentator was going to say before it cut off? It’s been killing me.
