  BUT was that "a" Gold Medal or "the" Gold Medal?  Did they recalibrate the votes 
  taking out the Frenchwoman's (which is what I would've advocated) or did they 
  just issue another one?  In other words, what happened to the Russians?  

  Yes! They took out the French judge's marks which meant that it was 4 votes each for the Canadians and the Russians so they declared it a tie. I know the Canadians deserved to win outright but you can't just take the medal away from the Russians
  Although apparently (I didn't see this my dad did) the Russian guy all but said they didn't deserve it in an interview.
