i love sashacoehen and her skating shes beautiful sexy sweet and great skater i saw sahsacohen skate in seattle this past weekend and brought her flowers it was great stuff takecare all gosahacohena nd u are all great
The interesting thing is that if Sasha had skated this Romeo & Juliet at the Torino Olympics of '06 she would have won the Gold medal, even with the 2 baubles on the jumps (but not until 2:30.) She would have racked up enough points with jumps and spins up to that 2:30 baubles and slightly after with the double axel and triple salchow as well as the spins and spirals that it would have been difficult, at best, for Arakawa to catch her (and Arakawa would have had to settle for the Silver medal)
So, I've read her book, and I've seen pictures, but I've never seen her skate at all! I wish I can get as good as her! I'm only pre juve, have a lot to learn, and have been skating for 3 yrs in January of 2012. I can dream, but can I achieve?
Notice at 3:30 as she is doing the first part of the spiral with her left leg lifted out in front that her right foot (the one on the ice) is bent backwards! That is incredible! What a feat of strength and flexibility! No one else did/does impossible moves like that anymore.
I think Sasha always had breathtaking positions, but, for me, that never equated with "irreplaceable artistry" as some have described. She sure had talent, and I really wish it had been truly realized, b/c her positions and music selection were glorious.
@souviendra Right?? Just exquisite! My favorite LP of all time as well, I find myself watching this over and over, it just breaks my heart that she never skated this perfectly, I feel like this program had so much potential that was never reached.
Take a look at her first spin sequence at 1:08. That is some difficult shit she is doing there. Notice the change of legs during the spin, lowering and raising of her body at the same time. This is difficulty of the highest degree and she adds perfect line and position to it. Then she does it all over again at the end at 4:04. SASHA IS SO AWESOME!
Great video quality. Sasha was the best skater in America at the time and would have given Kwan a HEAVY beatdown here had Kwan competed under the level playing field that is COP. Thanks for posting!
My favorite skater is MIchelle Kwan, Sasha is among the ones like because of her amazing flexibility, flexibility that gives her skating a more WOW factor, I think is unfair to call her a bad skater because her inconsistency, she is a great skater that have had inconsistency problems in her skate.......but still a great skater.
@missxcaliforniaa I agree. What is "perfection" anyway? It can't possibly be the programs of today; ugly body lines/positions, but worshiped because you land all your jumps. I think people who say Sasha is a bad skater on account of those jumps are blind, have no idea of what beauty might be and are not true enthusiasts of figure skating.
I don't care how many people say she isn't a good skater because of her inconsistency with jumps. Perfection is boring and there isn't one current skater that is as graceful and eloquent when they skate as Sasha Cohen. Every position she hits is beautiful. I don't think anybody will ever trump her as my favorite skater.
Though this did have fewer mistakes then her Olympic LP I always prefer that one. This one definitely did not have her usual spark, most likely since she was recovering from a nasty flu. She looked tired to me here and just had so much more passion and determination radiating through her at the Olympics. Shame about the falls, though. I'm sure had she not she would've taken an Olympic gold along with the National title she earned here that year. Beautiful performance.
I have this song in my player but when I listen to it, it does not give me that same emotional, teary feeling that I get when I SEE Sasha skate to it.
plushies!!
be a figure skater-> awaken the child within ;)

Why is she lingering at the end? That's kind of odd.
IMO, Sasha would've easily won Olympic gold by now. Her biggest enemy has always been.. herself.
