What a thrill to watch her skate. Beautiful. Great energy. Always hold on to this performance when we think of Sasha. She's like a gymnast/ballerina on ice with spark.
I love Sasha, she is such hard worker, and it shines in herperformance! And she is so pretty, too. Very graceful, pretty good stamina. I'm no ice skater, but she is just fantastic XD
I will never forget what I ws thinking while watching this. It was all the crazy mistakes Sasha had made. From falls, pops, a messed up sit spin in 02, messed entrance to a camel spin, falling on footwork and even a messed up spiral at least once. OMG They all flashed in my brain throughout this routine. The sad reason being I knew if she did a clean SP she would make the podium even after the mistakes I knew she'd make in the LP. Because I knew in my heart she would NEVER win an Olympic Gold.
Perfect skating i can watch this over and over again. It just shows so much personality and like she said "the fire in her eyes". Her spiral sequence was BEAUTIFUL. So much artistry and so captivating. Go Sasha!
She has perfect line and position each and every second of the program. Nothing ever looks ugly (think Rachel Flatt) or awkward (think Irina Slutskya) for her. She is the Master.
I always thought she was under-marked for this program especially in the artistic component score. She should have been clearly in the lead after performing this not just .03 ahead of 2nd.
Scott nailed it when he said "and their qualities are so different." Should've been at least a 10 point lead for Sasha. And Yuka Sato was also commented after this program, "darenimo kuraberarenai utsukushisa ga aru," which translates to, "she has beauty (elements of beauty) that cannot be compared to anyone." That's telling it like it is. I'm sorry, but if you had Sasha and any other skater perform an identical program, comparing them side-by-side, it wouldn't be close. Mao would be a distant#2
Sasha is fantastic! She is a beautiful, graceful, balletic, and elegant skater. Too bad she never fulfilled her potential, but her personality is real and she is a great role model for any young athlete. =))
I love Sasha's skating, she always so inspiring! Her spiral sequence is just WOW. The thing i can't get is why she doesn't go fasting into her double Axel. I watch it so many times and it always looks so tight. Is there a reason for that?
Sasha was a headcase at times in her career when she had a chance to win but you don't see this kind of skating now. For the most part there's no personality in the sport at the moment. The problem with the asian skaters who have dominated skating the last 5 years is they tend to be rather serious and not extroverted like north american skaters and tend to not show their personality.
@dsfddsgh Not show any personality? I dare you to watch anything by Yu-Na Kim, Daisuke Takahashi, Kanako Murakami, etc etc and say they have no personality on the ice :P
She quit because she has a huge focus problem. Very talented arguably the best lady single skaters of all time, however she cn not focus. She gets out there and gets into an amazing position, then she starts to day dream about lollypops, and ends up flat on her behind. It truly is sad and unfortunate. She was never a world or Olympic champion. In my opinion it is simply because her mind was somewhere else.
@catherinegoldman24 she quit, yes because of her focusing problem but also because of how she sees competition really is. i saw a clip of brian orser talking about yuna kim before the olympics and he was talking about the season before the olympics and it was worlds in LA and mao was before her. mao had a perfect program and both yuna and brian were relieved of that because mao was the best and if yuna really wanted this she would have to win over the best.in other words,be better than the best.
@VWYL900802 i think this is what sasha is missing. she thinks to much, it's like disecting a program, causing her to doubt her performance. she has the classic trait of a silver medalist has: thinks too much of others, and not her own. thinking of pleasing, not in control. she has that look in her lp that she cant do it, but really to be a champion, one has to arrive to win without doubt. this game, arakawa just won buy default. and much like her shakespeare program, thats a tragety.
Best short performance in any Winter Olympic Games - too bad we have to suffer through the commentary and can't just enjoy the performance with the music.. That is why they skate to music, right?
I love this short program by Sasha, btw. So much fire and spark! It's a shame that her jumping technique and less than stellar edging always got her in the LP. Putting that aside, it's hard to deny that there was something special about her.
@Mr2luvlife I agree!!! Well factually, Tara Lipinski did have a more difficult routine. However Michelle had muchhh more artistry and felt her performance emotionally. Tara was just a better technical skater.
yes, sakters still do, but rather than a spiral sequence, it's scored in the "transitions" portion of the score now...and well, NO ONE can do a spiral sequence like Sasha, especially the fan spiral! :)
She's beautiful. She's talented. She's artistic. She's fierce. She's energetic. She's emotional. She's amazing. She's hardworking. She's unbelievable. She's death-defying. She's brave. She's one of a kind. She's my idol... And I love her <3
RothdeMan, I miss Michelle, Sasha and Irina as well. All 3 are silver medalist at the Olympic games and imo are better than the ladies who won. Michelle should of won in 1998 with a more complicated program, better spins, layback, footwork and artistry. Irina should of won in 2002. And Sasha had the gold locked in 2006, If not for the falls.
@CrazyEggs123456789 didn't make the team. Rachael Flatt and Mirai Nagasu went instead. First and second in Nationals... I think Sasha placed fourth behind Ashley Wagner.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I HATE HATE HATE Sasha Cohen so much!!!! She is a BRATT who thinks she is way better than everyone else..O__o (and everyone says she is SO perfect.....yeah, right!!:P)
@lolmonkey98 In all sports, you have to go into it with a degree of confidence, thinking that you ARE better than everyone else, otherwise you wouldn't compete and you wouldn't want the top spot, the gold medal, the championship rings, the Grand Slams, none of that.
@girlcandream I really feel that if she could have gotten over her nerves, she would have been the greatest we had here for sure. When she's on, she's definitely my favorite.
@ynkisno1 Yuna has better jumps than Sasha but this is the only thing she does better. Sasha has better spins, spirals and much better artistry. Remember figure skating isn't jumping contest. sasha's weakness were long programs because usually they weren't clean but that's not only her problem. Yuna has problems with skating clean FS too.
And remember that the press always claim current skaters to be the best ever. We will see what they will tell about Yuna in few years when she retires.
What I miss about Sasha, Michelle, Irina, Maria, ect...is that they all had their own styles, but above that they all had personality. Something IMO, that is lacking today, among other things.
@RothdeMan Agreed. And it has everything to do with the new judging system. A free program with requirements?? Seriously? Back then you could do anything you wanted in the long. And even in the short program with requirements, it wasn't as heavy as nowadays and skaters could inject their own personalities and style. I do marvel at Yu-Na Kim's ability to be technically and artistically impressive, but I do wonder sometimes how different of a skater she would be with the 6.0 system.
@mariahfan444 I know what you mean, very few skaters have their own style now. Joannie Rochette is one of the few skaters left. That's what i love about her. I too, wish Kim Yu-na would add a style, same with Mao Asada, and Mirai Nagasu. They just look too much alike. The only difference is the technical part. I do think that the new judging system has a big effect. Michelle Kwan, Sasha Cohen, Irina Slutshaya, they all grew up with the old judging system and adapted their own style.
@strawberrykiwi20a Yu-Na Kim, Mirai Nagasu, and Mao Asada skate NOTHING alike. Yu-Na has this face paste style while Mao is more genuine and expresses herself with her body (beautiful arm movements that very, very few skaters can match) more than anything else. Completely different styles. On the other hand, Mirai still looks a bit juniorish and can be a tad awkward to me at times, so I don't see the point in comparing her to Yu-Na and Mao. Just my opinion though.
@pinto89100 It's kind of hard to explain what i mean. I guess it's kinda based on your opinion. I personally can't get into any of their performances. Don't jump at me with criticism but they kinda have boring performances. Someone can't tell that they have "beautiful stunning performances" and then look like beautiful stunning performances to me just because they say that. It's just the way you take it in. To me it all comes in like the same thing.
@strawberrykiwi20a I respect your opinion. But even if I didn't find Mao's performances entertaining (Yu-Na and Mirai's performances don't do much for me) I would still acknowledge that they have different styles. If you were to focus on their arm movements alone, or their lines, or their toes; I doubt that they would look anything remotely alike. This whole "everyone looks the same today" has been blown out of proportion imo. That was merely my point.
@RothdeMan female single skaters nowadays, especially with the asian skaters, and im sayin this in the most sincere way, have no life. no life = no style. and thats coming from an asian skater.
This program just makes me want to push harder and harder to be as amazing as she is. Sasha Cohen is my inspiration for skating. When ever I feel like giving up skating I watch this program and it inspirers me to keep going and going. <3
i love sasha cohen and this is like her best performance ever! it's so sad she didn't make it to the 2010 olympics but she is definetely to good to be forgotten : ) i agree with @cupcakeskate88, she is a figure skating legend : )
@leo34ap actually she has.... just not at the same time as doing a brilliant short... her 2003 season she won 4 goals in a row... she hit her rachmaninov long program perfectly a lot
People, let's settle this right now. The ONE skater that started it all (beautiful artistry incprporating dance ballet and genuine ellegance)was OKSANA BAIUL. If it weren't for Oksana, none of the ladie skaters out there would be giving the kind of performances that newgenerations are experiencing now. True, she was never strong in the technical aspect but the beauty of her skating.....breathtaking!!!
I hope Sasha won't be forggoten .Her class ,her grace ,her beauty ,the performance.I still feel it wasn't her time to quit .If I was her I would't care and I'd stay there until I'm fourty ,but I'd win a gold at olympics and at worlds.She's just the best ever and she has to get one of these. All in all she's worked her whole life for it .
I met her :D

@girlcandream I really feel that if she could have gotten over her nerves, she would have been the greatest we had here for sure. When she's on, she's definitely my favorite.

@girlcandream but Sasha technique is "inferior" compare to Olympic Champion, Yuna Kim.

@ynkisno1 Yuna has better jumps than Sasha but this is the only thing she does better. Sasha has better spins, spirals and much better artistry. Remember figure skating isn't jumping contest. sasha's weakness were long programs because usually they weren't clean but that's not only her problem. Yuna has problems with skating clean FS too.
And remember that the press always claim current skaters to be the best ever. We will see what they will tell about Yuna in few years when she retires.

What I miss about Sasha, Michelle, Irina, Maria, ect...is that they all had their own styles, but above that they all had personality. Something IMO, that is lacking today, among other things.
This performance was fantastic!

@RothdeMan Agreed. And it has everything to do with the new judging system. A free program with requirements?? Seriously? Back then you could do anything you wanted in the long. And even in the short program with requirements, it wasn't as heavy as nowadays and skaters could inject their own personalities and style. I do marvel at Yu-Na Kim's ability to be technically and artistically impressive, but I do wonder sometimes how different of a skater she would be with the 6.0 system.

@mariahfan444 I know what you mean, very few skaters have their own style now. Joannie Rochette is one of the few skaters left. That's what i love about her. I too, wish Kim Yu-na would add a style, same with Mao Asada, and Mirai Nagasu. They just look too much alike. The only difference is the technical part. I do think that the new judging system has a big effect. Michelle Kwan, Sasha Cohen, Irina Slutshaya, they all grew up with the old judging system and adapted their own style.

@strawberrykiwi20a Yu-Na Kim, Mirai Nagasu, and Mao Asada skate NOTHING alike. Yu-Na has this face paste style while Mao is more genuine and expresses herself with her body (beautiful arm movements that very, very few skaters can match) more than anything else. Completely different styles. On the other hand, Mirai still looks a bit juniorish and can be a tad awkward to me at times, so I don't see the point in comparing her to Yu-Na and Mao. Just my opinion though.

@pinto89100 It's kind of hard to explain what i mean. I guess it's kinda based on your opinion. I personally can't get into any of their performances. Don't jump at me with criticism but they kinda have boring performances. Someone can't tell that they have "beautiful stunning performances" and then look like beautiful stunning performances to me just because they say that. It's just the way you take it in. To me it all comes in like the same thing.
strawberrykiwi20a 1 year ago
@strawberrykiwi20a I respect your opinion. But even if I didn't find Mao's performances entertaining (Yu-Na and Mirai's performances don't do much for me) I would still acknowledge that they have different styles. If you were to focus on their arm movements alone, or their lines, or their toes; I doubt that they would look anything remotely alike. This whole "everyone looks the same today" has been blown out of proportion imo. That was merely my point.

@RothdeMan female single skaters nowadays, especially with the asian skaters, and im sayin this in the most sincere way, have no life. no life = no style. and thats coming from an asian skater.

People, let's settle this right now. The ONE skater that started it all (beautiful artistry incprporating dance ballet and genuine ellegance)was OKSANA BAIUL. If it weren't for Oksana, none of the ladie skaters out there would be giving the kind of performances that newgenerations are experiencing now. True, she was never strong in the technical aspect but the beauty of her skating.....breathtaking!!!

I hope Sasha won't be forggoten .Her class ,her grace ,her beauty ,the performance.I still feel it wasn't her time to quit .If I was her I would't care and I'd stay there until I'm fourty ,but I'd win a gold at olympics and at worlds.She's just the best ever and she has to get one of these. All in all she's worked her whole life for it .
