16-year-old Hughes, fourth after the short program, skated a clean free skating with seven triple jumps, including two triple-triple combinations. Kwan led after the short program{{cite web|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2002-feb-21-sp-olyfigadv21-story.html|title=Still a Long Night to Go|date=February 21, 2002|first=Helene|last=Elliott|work=Los Angeles Times|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121105120441/https://articles.latimes.com/2002/feb/21/sports/sp-olyfigadv21|archive-date=November 5, 2012|url-status=live}} but slipped to third after two jumping errors. Sasha Cohen finished fourth, after a fall on the back end of a triple lutz-triple toe combination. Slutskaya became only the second Russian to medal in the ladies' event at the Olympics.

Hughes and Slutskaya finished with tie scores, Hughes winning the gold medal on a tiebreaker for having won the free skating. The Russian officials were very disappointed with the result and filed a protest, which was not accepted by ISU after it examined all results and scores, thus confirming Hughes as the winner.{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2002/02/23/sports/olympics-figure-skating-hughes-s-gold-draws-russians-ire.html|title=OLYMPICS: FIGURE SKATING; Hughes's Gold Draws Russians' Ire|date=February 23, 2002|first=Michael|last=Janofsky|work=The New York Times}}

During competition, the pairwise ranked choice voting system that the International Skating Union (ISU) had adopted after a debacle during the ladies' competition at the 1995 world championships caused a similar change in the scoring. Kwan, whose routine had triggered the 1995 incident, had been ahead of Hughes until Slutskaya skated. The judges' revised rankings put Hughes ahead of Kwan, an undesired effect of the independent irrelevant alternative. Two years later the ISU changed the voting procedures again to range voting.{{cite book |last1=Volić |first1=Ismar |author1-link=Ismar Volić |title=Making Democracy Count: How Mathematics Improves Voting, Electoral Maps and Representation |date=2024 |publisher=Princeton University Press |isbn=9780691248806 |pages=84–85 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=G1rbEAAAQBAJ&q=Making+Democracy+Count |access-date=June 4, 2024}}

=Pairs=

:Medals awarded February 11, 2002; second award ceremony February 17.

A controversial decision was taken which extended the Russian dominance of pair skating at the Olympics.

In the first week of the Games, a controversy in the pairs' figure skating competition culminated in the French judge's scores being thrown out and the Canadian team of Jamie Salé and David Pelletier being awarded a gold medal (together with the Russians who were controversially awarded gold previously and kept their medals despite the allegations of vote swapping and buying the votes of the French judge). Allegations of bribery were leveled against many ice-skating judges, leading to the arrest of known criminal Alimzhan Tokhtakhounov in Italy (at the request of the United States). He was released by the Italian officials.{{cite news|url=http://www.sptimes.ru/index.php?action_id=2&story_id=7837 |work=The St Petersburg Times |title=Taivanchik Hearing Ordered to Stay Put |author=Andrew Dampf |agency=Associated Press |date=August 13, 2002 |access-date=January 31, 2012 |url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120204224428/http://www.sptimes.ru/index.php?action_id=2&story_id=7837 |archive-date=February 4, 2012 }}{{cite web|url=https://www.msnbc.com/news/705743.asp?cp1=1 |title=IOC awards gold to Canadian pair |date=February 15, 2002 |publisher=MSNBC |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020601103902/https://www.msnbc.com/news/705743.asp?cp1=1 |archive-date=June 1, 2002 |url-status=dead}}

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 ISU and IOC, in a joint press conference, announced that Marie-Reine Le Gougne, the French judge implicated in collusion, was guilty of misconduct and was suspended effective immediately.{{cite web|url=https://www.msnbc.com/news/705743.asp?cp1=1 |title=IOC awards second gold to Canadian pair |date=February 15, 2002 |publisher=MSNBC |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020601103902/https://www.msnbc.com/news/705743.asp?cp1=1 |archive-date=June 1, 2002 |url-status=dead}}
