The 1998 Olympics was held 7-12 Feb 1998; the 1998 World Championships was held 29 Mar-5 Apr 1998. Emery and Evan could not use that win as proof that a fake Michelle was substituted during the Olympics. Michelle did not receive perfect scores at either the 1996 or 1998 World Championship. Furthermore, there are only 9 judges at the World Championships, not 15.
