Any Sasha updates?

[ImaginaryPogue]

Yes, ice is slippery. But does the fact that the sport is unpredictable for a number of reasons mean that we shouldn't have fun with analysis, prediction or speculation? Because that's what I'm getting from you, Kwanford Wife, but I don't think that's what you're saying. I should also add that I'm not really seeing the smugness you're accusing people of either.

 

[Spun Silver]

Don't you get it, IP? Nobody is allowed to diss the Kween without getting The Speech from a certain poster. That's just the way it is. You'll notice that even the Sasha fans here are very respectful of Kwan.... and Kwanford!

Actually I think it might be worthwhile to diss Kwan in order to get another version of The Speech. Age does not wither, nor custom stale, Kwanford's infinite watchfulness and variety.

I heard she is doing her program (don't know long or short or both) with Morozov at Icehouse in NJ.

 

[Spun Silver]

Hey, an actual update. So we'll have Miki-Morozov against Sasha-Morozov. Interesting!

I wish I could sneak in - the Ice House is not even all that far from me.

That's right! I didn't think about the Miki-Morozov team! In that light, they may be doing an exhibition program too. All I can be sure is Sasha did work with Morozov this summer. And I heard she is in great shape.

So is everyone else, relatively speaking.

Does anybody know who choregraphed her current exhibition MS?Was it herself?
I do think Morozov can create a great SP for her (My favorites are Michelle's WC 03/04 Feeling Begins), just amazing!) but not sure about a LP..

I think we should change KW's name to KWEENFORD!!!!

Where did you hear this? I'm just wondering because I've heard several posters mentioning that she is most likely working with David Wilson for her programs. Maybe she is doing one program with Morozov and the other with Wilson.

hmmm. Very interesting. I guess she went to him for choreography then, as she cites Rapheal Artunian as her main coach in Lake Arrowhead. Okay, well he made a olympic gold program for shizuka, and I could easily see her doing his chreo. I wonder if she will be there long....Sasha didn't stay in the east coast to long last time.

found this on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWMb8rdFaMg

Its cute and nice to get a rare interview. Is it me or does she look so much older now compared with 2006?

kwanford,
i loved your answer, thanks for making me smile.
also well put, have a great day.

spun silver,
if you don't like that certain poster, have the decency to name that poster. or are you afraid of the truth, or can't handle disagreements.
by the way, sasha fans weren't respectful of michelle why she was skating, you dissed her always and wanted us to respect sasha.
so why should i now, when you didn't back then.
that is why michelle is so great she is better than her fans, can't say the same about sasha.
only very few athletes can make their fans look bad, michael jordan, tiger woods and michelle, joe montana. about the ones i can think of.
i am respectful of sasha just not her skating, or judging. sasha demeanor since 1999 says it all.
you have to look at it objectively, i can, i just state the reasons why,
i respect your decision to disagree. the least you can do is respect mine disagreements why (you have a point)
thank you.
have a great day.

Is some part of this video from a recent training?Guess not as Tarasova is in the background but still nice to see a nice 3 Loop from her..I will see her live in Paris and I have to admit that I am getting very excited.
I hope just as with Rochette, that her mental "powerness" has developed with experience and age..

Interesting! On 10th July Daisuke Murakami (Nikolai's student, Nobu & Miki's training mate) tweeted: "Preparing myself for a long day at the rink. Starbucks with Sasha and Nobu and off to the rink!"
I wondered if "Sasha" was Sasha Cohen, it looks like it's possible.

As far as I know, Sasha choreographed Moonlight Sonata (the EX number). Maybe she wanted to keep the general structure of the program (for LP), but be sure that it's CoP-smart? It's what Nikolai did for Shizuka's Olympic SP and it worked wonders.

:sheesh: I truly don't know what you're talking about.

(And don't you have anything better to do than sit around and think dark thoughts about Sasha Cohen? Come on, life is way bigger than that. Think about all the skaters you DO like and be happy!)

Good! My main talent in life is snarky amusement! But...

This isn't really fair... Spun is a great asset to this board and tries very hard to raise up the level of conversation between posters - espcially us Kwan / Sasha ubers who sometimes forget its not 2004 any longer... This is very true for me... I've learned over the years that we can disagree without being disagreeable and mainly from Spun and Dee... both work very hard to keep it nice & easy (while keeping me in line with my sheer uberness...)

Go back. Read her posts and find common ground... This board's tone has really improved over the past two / three years and Spun has contributed to this renewed spirit of dialogue vs. debate... (Moi? Not so much... But I continue to work on it... )

(Mods - I know this is a double post but ask respectfully that they are not merged because one is serious and this one is just Spun & Dee Love & testiment to how much I love GS and all the wonderful friends I've met on the board!)
