Early Sasha Cohen videos.

Jtsmith12 · Aug 2, 2011

Sasha Cohen is one of my favourite all time skaters and while I was watching someone of her videos, I came across some early videos of her that I had not seen before. So I thought I would share them, for those of you who are Sasha fans

1999 Junior Nationals SP

I couldn't find her jr nationals lp, but I did find her 1999 lp for the Keri Lotion Classic.

I enjoyed watching these, and hopefully you will too.

Thanks for the treat! Sasha's command of her performance was spell-binding, even at age 14. :yes:

What a lovely skater Sasha is. I recently found a video of her skating at fourteen, and I reviewed her first Senior Nationals, in 2000. The striking thing about her is that she really never looked juniorish. (Maybe she did waaay back when she was twelve.) Her posture and placement were always polished. It wasn't just her flexibility; her carriage was artistically mature from the get-go. I became a fan right away and have remained one.

I love these vids and watch them regularly. She was such a star.

This one is probably my favorite:

I have somewhere a handheld video recording of Sasha's programs at the old North American Challenge Skate competition held in Lake Placid the summer after she competed as a Novice at US Nationals. Jennifer Kirk (as she was then known) was also there. However, even if I could find them I have no idea how to get them into the land of the interwebs. Anyone got any clues on that.

I couldn't tell because of the camera angle. but does Sasha touch the back of her head with her skate without hand assist in this performance? :eek:

I think of all the Sasha videos I have I think this is the first time I've seen this one....thank you for posting it.

I think this is my all time favorite because I saw her perform it at Skate Canada. The practice session was even better.

and the long program.

She was with Tatianna so I got double the pleasure!!!

She is just such a stunner and my all-time favorite skater -- before she came along, I wasn't interested in ladies' skating at all, just pairs.

Can't wait to watch all these videos.

Jtsmith12 · Aug 3, 2011

Here's her doing some pair skating.

I also loved her 2000 nationals senior debut short program.

I never saw that video of her skating with Michael Weiss. I am sure she must have been asked a few times to skate pairs competitively as she trained with Mr. Nicks and was so tiny and elegant.

I know this thread, is to talk about her early videos, but I did want to share with you guys some of my favourite programs of hers.

2004 Swan Lake:

2004 Malaguena

2003 Rachmaninoff

2005 Dark Eyes

One thing I noticed about Sasha is that she used some of the most overused music in figure skating, but she makes it work.

Yeah, I'd be more than happy to take a swing at uploading (wc) these videos if I have some idea of how to do it. Thanks.
