Sasha hasn't lived up to her hype...yet. This title could easily be hers.
"Easily?" I hardly think so. Sasha Cohen has yet to skate two clean programs at Nationals. Typically, she skates a gorgeous short program, then ruins her chances to win by falling several times and/or making major mistakes in the long program. Her season so far hasn't been impressive - not for a skater with her talent - and IMHO it will be difficult for her to win this week. Certainly, she has the talent to do it, but she has to skate two clean programs - or at least not make more than one mistake in the LP.
