I'm kind of thinking Sasha wouldn't stand for sharing RobinPiel said:Why not do whatever she wants? She is young, talented, beautiful, smart and has worked very hard......ENJOY your life Sarah!
If she returns to competition, who will be her coach? It would be very difficult to duplicate the relationship she had with RW. Would/could RW coach both Sarah and Sasha ?
soogar said:Sarah could still be eligible and skate SOI. She just needs to get a waiver from the USFSA like Todd. BTW, the Russian skaters have no such eligibility problems with SOI like the US. Alexei was still eligible when he joined SOI and was able to compete for Russia (and still rec'd funds as well) until injury forced him to retire.
I don't think Sarah making 6 figures or so skating for SOI makes her a dilettante.

Red Dog said:...according to someone on another forum, in the latest issue of SI Sarah says she will join SOI and then maybe think about the upcoming Winter olympics.
Joesitz said:So she is leaving school (for a year?) and skating in a show. Skating in a show will force her to lose some of that noticeable excessive weight we've seen; it will also force her to get some solid skating in front of an audience; She'll have plenty of time to practice with the aid of some super stars in the show.
