Medals were awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance at the senior, junior, and novice levels. The results were part of the U.S. selection criteria for the 2003 World Championships, 2003 Four Continents Championships, and 2003 World Junior Championships. At the senior level, Michael Weiss won the men's event, Michelle Kwan won the women's event, Tiffany Scott and Philip Dulebohn won the pairs event, and Naomi Lang and Peter Tchernyshev won the ice dance event. Kwan's victory was her seventh at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships, and her sixth consecutive win. At the junior level, Dennis Phan won the men's event, Erica Archambault won the women's event, Amy Howerton and Steven Pottenger won the pairs event, and Morgan Matthews and Maxim Zavozin won the ice dance event. Michael Weiss won his third national title after a men's competition that was described as a circus. Weiss fell on his quadruple Lutz and failed to perform a triple Axel. Timothy Goebel – nicknamed the "Quad King" for his prowess with quadruple jumps – failed to successfully perform any of his quadruple jumps. Johnny Weir withdrew from the competition midway through the free skate after colliding with the wall and injuring his knee. Matthew Savoie was forced to pause his performance by a referee when part of his costume broke. "I've never seen anything like it in my fifty years in skating," coach Don Laws said afterward, summing up the men's event.https://www.nytimes.com/2003/01/19/sports/figure-skating-hughes-and-cohen-no-match-for-kwan-s-grace-and-style.html Hughes and Cohen no match For Kwan's grace and style Liz Robbins January 19,
