It's too bad Sasha didn't show up to Skate America. Given Yu-Na's skate, she might have actually won. That would have set her up as a serious contender for the Olympics.
Any Sasha updates?

Gosh, the way some of you carry on. :sheesh:
You act like Sasha's skating can't compare with what we have seen this season at the GP's. :scratch:
2006 Sasha would have medaled at, or won most of this seasons events.
I know we may never see the old Sasha again - just as I doubt that we will see much skating as elegant and beautiful anytime soon.

Well, it is. I'll give you that one. Due to the inconsistent messages from her camp no one really knows what shape she's truly in.
Once again, that was based on the "big assumption" I made earlier. IF she was truly injured, then of course she shouldn't compete. But to be magically 100% better only a few days after WDing from an event due to tendonitis? Now, I've never had that myself but that's not something that just disappears overnight, no? ILTS laid it out quite nicely already so I won't repeat what the inconsistencies are.
Assuming she's saying how she really feels instead of stirring the rumor pot some more. I'll believe it when I SEE it.

While I agree with you on certain points, I have to disagree on some of your assertions. ...
The "perfect" 7 triple program is a rare thing in skating, and I think we remember those performances so well because of our favorite skaters like Michelle who has won many titles by skating 7 triple performances. However, that's her. There have been plenty of medalists, even at the Worlds/nationals/olympics level who have not landed even 6 clean triples under the 6.0 system.
I think it's really easy to start pointing fingers at the new system, but I don't think that skating has been affected all too negatively by the system.
This isn't meant to be a vicious post, but I just wanted to put my opinions out there.
We will have to agree to disagree...but honey if you think your reply was vicious you really need to wait a month or two to see what a vicious post really looks like because yours is anything but!!

She might have been painfree 5 weeks ago, but that does not mean that she was ready to compete. When she did have pain, whenever that was she could not train fully ( or at all). Honestly I can't wait for nationals sonwe can all stop asking will she or won't she and over analyzing everything that she does and says

i agree. what a wasted opportunity. she always seems to be injured lately, something or other flares up...etc. still, if she had competed and won, then that would have not only set her up well in the eyes of judges/fans, but would have boosted her confidence a lot against yuna, who is the 'top' skater at the moment.
it's too bad, very unfortunate, and maybe a sign of worse things to come?? whatever the case is, skipping out on SA did her no favors in her quest for an olympic medal, let alone gold. i wouldn't be surprised if she falters at nationals and 2 other skaters go instead. i'm definitely not getting my hopes up high.
In that case, at least she can say she tried.
I'll say. And "more transparent" -- what a joke, right? When we now have secret scoring...
QFT. The honeymoon is long over for CoP. Either they fix it, throw it out, or skating starts hemorraging more viewers and revenue.

that's true. i hope she can make it as this would be her last chance at an olympic games probably. it's not unheard of to continue until 2014, but she'd be 29..... not so farfetched and she'd most likely be healthier....

Well some skaters (like gymnasts) are staying in longer, and longer-well into their twenties and some even early thirties. I'm all for it as long as they're healthy, and having fun.
Actually, I wonder the opposite- if, after seeing how everyone else is doing, she feels she actually has a legit chance at an Oly medal (if she can get back to her former self)
If she pushed through, she could have broken down by Jan. or Feb. Of course, assuming she HAD an actual injury in the first place.

A new news article on Sasha Cohen
From Universal Sports:
http://www.universalsports.com/news/article/newsid=372741.html#cohen+hopes+magical+return
She wants to put together two strong programs at nationals... she says she's less flexible now but has better jumps... I'd love to see it for myself. Show up at the nationals, Sasha.

Two months? I thought she worked with him up until very recently, when she went back to Mr Nicks.
