Even given the couple of small errors and the fact that she was obviously fighting off the flu, Cohen was absolutely breathtaking.
Her program is Olympic. The music is beautiful and audience-friendly - it inspires a standing ovation. The choreography is absolutely exquisite. She hits every note of music and the whole thing flows as if it couldn't possibly go any other way. Even her costume was gorgeous - loved the one for the short as well, by the way.
This was quite possibly the most inspiring ladies skate I've seen this year. Others have had good skates, certainly - Slutskaya, Asada, Rochette - but none have touched me the way Cohen's skate did Saturday. It was just utterly beautiful to watch.
After her being almost totally absent all season with injuries, I was a little concerned she may not be up to snuff, but it looked like she's in good shape heading towards Torino.
I'll be cheering for her at the Olympics.
