1/8 - New Sasha Journal

[Lanie]

Ha, I beat RD to it!

Sasha's got a new journal entry on her website at www.sashacohen.com.

Good luck at Nats, Sasha!

Beat me to it? This is news to me, actually...in other words, I didn't even KNOW she wrote a new journal this year. Right back.

BTW- I forgot to say- Thx

Interesting that she doesn't feel additional pressure- at least she SAYS she does. But once she's about to take the ice, I think she'll feel it going. She's been very candid and straightforward this season. Let's see if she can deliver at Nats. It will take a pretty big screw-up to lose this one. (Unless one of her other competitors has the performance of a lifetime.) Remember, it's likely that she might be the last one to skate in the FS (like MK was last year). That's plenty of time for nerves to creep up.

I thought she meant she is filled with pressure. Maybe I am misunderstanding.

I don’t feel additional pressure. I still feel like I have something to prove.

Thanks for the link!

I can't wait to see the changes in her long program!

Frankly, sometimes I think Sasha should let her skating speak for her. A great, clean performance is worth about 1,000,000 words.

Yes, she should try this technique, at least once, somewhere, sometime.
