Sasha Cohen explains the judging process of Figure Skating

[blkjock81]

She's so dissapointing in this interview. She didn't defend her sport. COP system was designed to be LESS subjective, and she didn't research or take the time to explain this to the audience. She did not act like an ambassador for her sport. Not impressed!

[getrealandsee]

@blkjock81 Oh really? Better you should hear it from Michelle 6.0s not matter what except at the Olympics and God knows the judges tried..they all but skated for her Kwan???

Sasha is a wonderful honest representative of her sport!! She doesn't appeal to anyone who likes phonies, though:)-:) For that...head out to the lols many many many many many interviews.

[getrealandsee]

@blkjock81 Oh dear...that should have read lol's. She is VERY possessive of her interviews, face time, money, titles, medals, and image.

[TheVagitarian1]

I HAVE SEEN MCCARVER OUT AND ABOUT IN ST.LOUIS WITH WOMEN AS YOUNG AS SASHA....GO GET'EM TIM...YOU FUCKING DOUCHE BAG!!!

[Patrickibens]

she's so right on this one! Nobody knows what really is going on so in the end there won't be/can't be any controversy! Conclusion..... ISU is safed from another 2002 disaster!

[strawberrykiwi20a]

I died laughing watching this! Nice explanation Sasha, right on! I loved the part where she said "The judges don't know what's going on, I don't know what's going on, and then we see numbers on the screen that we don't understand." You gotta love her.

[MazeleyFanClub]

"They add things up and then things have different levels, and then different grades of execution, and then they change the rules for what is for what, and then they add this in and the judges don't know what's going on and I don't know what's going on, and then we see numbers on the screen that we don't understand" -- that is the perfect explanation of the code of points system. God I love her. XD

hahahahah very funny and cute ;)

[AwesomeAlvin]

she looks so much prettier on ice

[MrAmazingness1234567]

love you sasha cohen

[XxSkatingFan4LifexXD]

There's nothing wrong with saying she's gained weight 'cause it's true (well not in the video but if you look at her now. Yes.) Actually I think she looks great. Not trying to make people bash me but before she looked way to thin in my opinion. Now she looks healthy. :)

So what I'm saying is a GOOD thing. Don't go off on me like some people did with peggy1990....sheesh

[Hail2TheVictorsBaby]

well NOW she looks skinnier than ever!

[unodostreskuatro]

she sounds tired... or maybe that's what happened to her voice for being exposed to cold so much!

@scj16, where is michelle kwan now? she's not skating anymore?

[m04252009]

I don't think I would be able to interview her: I would just stare at her and it would not get anywhere.

[neothomist1275]

That whiny voice makes me want to stick an ice pick in my skull.

[sashalovr]

you make me wanna stick an ice pick in your scull

[XxtwilightLoVeR11xX]

go ahead and comit suicide, no one cares. :)

[neothomist1275]

commit*

[Hail2TheVictorsBaby]

Ok her voice is like most Ukranian women, She sounds just like Mila Kunis.

[scj16]

she's hot. i miss kwan though, she was my favorite skater.

[Congest]

She's at a very healthy, lean weight here. If you think she looks "fat", you need to get your eyes fixed.

[curlygurlnumber1]

dats bcuz she has really high cheekbones nd a a kindof squared jaw... it makes her face looxs fairly fat!!! bt yea i understand what you are saying! itz juss dat ppl can get 2 emotional over lil things....

[FreaketteX]

what an asshat

[tinymavy]

she is so cute!

[ricvonzipper]

They typically deduct points for bad technique. I would suggest a system that added points based on five criteria: Spread, cat-lip, camel toe, mound, and gash.

[juliG]

i love her! she is my favorite! she is the best! is she a little fat there?

[tinymavy]

no! she is like a size 2!!!!! just an ugly blouse.

[EnchantedSkater]

More like a size 0

[road2gold]

just an ugly blouse?tehehe! that's a little mean

[branquela82]

She looks like a Gilmore Girl.

[soulmuzixercher]

ew...lick feet? someones got some foot fetish.

[waddleduckie1]

Fragmeister, you and merciless' post indicates you both are childish and are in need of mental evaluation. Sorry, but your posts can not be posted in here. We are not mediators, but we will start monitoring all abusive posts and discard them as they are posted.

[RYsPigeons]

LOL! She has a great explanation! She is right, they DO change it a lot.

[getmewild]

well said!!!

[ryotatateishi]

Sasha should never forget that because of this new system, she was able to get the silver medal.

[ellecat2]

That's the problem. She's got silver at 2004 WC. It means she could have got silver without this new system. Anyway she is a excellent skater. (and honest)

[ssips720]

she sounds like paula abdul here

[duckydodger]

What are the chances Tim actually knew what she was talking about. Tim couldn't explain this stuff. Heck, he couldn't teach someone how to feed a baby.

[btccfan2002]

HAHA!! Exactly. Tim doesn't know the difference between a changeup and a splitter and is a pompous [donkey]

[merciless41582]

Sasha Cohen is sexy

[Congest]

Very!

[Congest]

She looks really good since gaining a little bit of weight.

[Grenade1080]

I love her explanation! They change it soo much! I've had to change my spiral sequence around at least five times just to make sure I get a level four! hahah. Then when I get to competition, I hear they took out this spiral, it no longer counts so I have to replace it with something else! hahah. they need to keep it constant for a while so us skaters don't get confused.

[bibiskating]

I don't know why she doesn't understand the new judging system, even my little brother of ten years old understand it and I'm pretty sure would he would be able to explain it to her.

It's the fairest way to judge a performance on my opinion.

[vanillabeanfrap7]

yeah there the easy way n the hard way. easy is just the basics, hard is like all the scoring numbers, difficulty n stuff like that! and i bet ur 10 year old brother has no clue about it!

[awartha]

The same thing could be said about 6.0. At least COP doesn't judge your performance relative to the hypothetical performances of people who haven't skated yet.

[pamurchu]

PERFECT explanation of the new judging system!!!
