Overview
A voting scandal in pairs figure skating led to duplicate gold medals for Canadians Jamie Sale and David Pelletier alongside the Russian pair. Ole Einar Bjoerndalen of Norway swept all four biathlon events. The first Winter Games after September 11, 2001 ran under unprecedented security, and the host city bribery revelations of 1998 had already forced sweeping IOC reforms.
