That's a pretty awesome site!

Hehe, I checked out the Jeff Q&A and he made me laugh!

Do you have a favorite Olympic memory?
This is such a random one. I don't know why it comes to mind, but when Surya Bonaly did a back flip [an illegal move, at the 1998 Nagano Games], it was her way of saying, "Screw you." I don't know why I liked it.

Just the fact that he actually says 'screw you' in an interview.

and his pre-competition rituals...

Any special pre-competition ritual?
I like to eat a big juicy burger before I compete.

The day of competition?
The day of, yup. Like a few hours before.

Doesn't that feel heavy in your stomach?
I think I like to feel heavy at competitions. I don't want to feel light and waif-like. And a hot-cold-hot-cold shower. Alternating between hot and freezing.

Just to toughen yourself up?
And wake me up.

Is that before or after the big burger? Sounds like a rough day before you even compete.
(Laughs.) I like to push my body to the limit.

I don't think I could handle that before competing.

And his talk about being literally thrown into speaking French by his non-French speaking parents... well, they say that the best way to learn another language is by being surrounded by people who speak it...


And oh dear lord, the childhood pictures...

Anyways, I'm off to check out other profiles!

This is a really great site and I can't wait till they add more

I just love watching the clips from the 2002 Olympic Games especially,
S/P and B/S free skates and oh Sarah Hughes too.

I still remember my mother screaming at the TV when S/P lost to B/S

Ahhhhhhhhh what memories

Har Har Har. Click HERE to see a picture of Sasha Cohen in a pose somewhat evocative of Shirley Temple circa 1942, encouraging citizens to buy war bonds.

To view the whole pictorial, click HERE and scroll down a little for all the thumbnails.​

Very media-intensive. Great resource, although (obviously) American-biased.

Anyone else having video problems? Any video I try to watch I get 9 seconds of blankness, and... then it stops. I'm using Internet Explorer.
