Tara Lipinski and Husband Examine 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics Skating Scandal
“It brought a sadness for me as an Olympic champion knowing what that night is like,” Lipinski explains."You skate your heart out and everything goes right, the rest is all fun and soaking in the crowd and seeing marks. And you win and have your time on the podium listening to the national anthem, and those are one-time lifetime memories.
"It had the potential to be awkward — medals ordinarily won by one couple shared between two. But Berezhnaya and Sikharulidze accepted their co-champions gracefully, a gift Sale and Pelletier acknowledged." Lipinski notes that there had not been an in-depth look at the scandal in the past two decades. Even though it was a dominant theme during the Salt Lake City Olympics, an ongoing drama for days, the perception generally was that the French judge voted for the Russians that night under pressure from others.
“It affected her life so greatly,” Lipinski says."She moved back in with her mom in France and feels like she was not able to live her life, misses her sport so much. Sadly, she even contemplated suicide.
