“I have every intention of competing in future competitions. My major goals are the 2009 LA Worlds and the 2010 Vancouver Olympics,” Cohen said. “I love the thrill competition brings, and I’m not ready to give that up. But I’m the type of person who is all or nothing. When I train and compete, it’s my life. I can’t be there just to be there. These past few months, I’ve really enjoyed simply skating for the love of it.”
Eh? :scratch: :think: she keeps saying this. Maybe she really means it after all. But mind and body are two different things, and both may not wish to do the same thing at once.
I still think she's through with competitive skating. Even if she wishes to come back, she probably either a) won't be able to do it because she's so far behind the current generation or b) she'll pick up an injury and will miss out on the OLY.
Why does that link not work. Has she cancelled her website?
Maybe she's keeping the COI Tours happy enough to pretend she will skate competitions. I dunno. Just one possible spec.Of course, Sasha is not only not going to be at 2007 Nationals, she won't be at 2008 Nationals. And though she says she wants to go to 2009 Worlds, there's no guarantee she'll be able to regain sufficient skating skills to make that possible.
This will be Emily's big year to show championships material. SOI might be interested if she wins gold in Worlds.I doubt Emily will be around for 2008 Nationals, either. I think she will be away at college, and skating in SOI as a guest star on selected dates.
That's the way it is in Skateland.So some of the talented young'uns will have to move up and fill the empty skates.

...Meier?
And Emily is skating as a guest at SOI this winter. They're already interested in her, and they'll probably book her for more guest spots next year while she's at college.
