That's exactly how I feel about her skating.

i thought i was the only one who felt that way! i watch her, thinking "that's a gorgeous position" and i just feel NOTHING. i can't figure it out.new_europe2006 said:That's exactly how I feel about her skating.
Piel said:Kyla I appreciate her physical capabilities. Obviously Sasha has lots of natural ability. I feel Sasha is all about look at me, adore me, I am the best. OTOH Kwan doesn't nearly have Sasha's physical abilities. What Kwan has is the ability to draw me into her performance so that I feel like I am flying around the ice with her. I feel like Kwan enjoys what she brings to her fans while Sasha enjoys being worshiped by hers.
Red Dog said:All fine, but just remember this: Although both the 1998 and 2002 Oly champions were Americans, in neither case was the winner the reigning US champ. So, if an American wins the Olympics...would it be Kwan or Meissner? :scratch:

I have to agree that Sasha WAS breathtaking. This LP is the best she's ever done, IMO. I can very well see it winning at the Olympics if Sasha skates it with conviction and without any mistakes. Something I've always hoped to see her do for many a season now. Two back to back CLEAN programs, and I gotta believe that she has as much of a shot at that gold as Irina or Michelle. More even...
Peggy said:I don't understand your attitude. I think Sasha cares about her fans as much as Michelle cares about hers. Michelle is happy when she skates clean but I've seen her cry when she didn't make the top of the podium. My guess is she wasn't thinking about her fans. Both of these girls work hard and I'm sick of hearing how much better a person Michelle is. Sasha has been put down more than any other skater I have ever seen. I hope she doesn't read this junk.

Piel said:I am not being mean to Sasha,
Michelle was once quoted as saying that she never watches other skaters' performances backstage on the monitor. The reason? She doesn't want to get caught by the camera shouting "fall, fall!"Red Dog said:(waits till the day Kwan is caught having a fit on camera)
Piel, You know I love you but I'm disappointed in these Kwan vs. Cohen posts. If Michelle has been "put down for 12 years or so" then I'm George Bush. Yes, there are a smattering of Kwan haters, but there always are with a longtime reigning champion. I think the outcome of the Marshall's audience vote shows that Michelle has more fans than any skater we've seen in the last 12 years.Piel said:What's not to understand? I think Sasha seems like selfish, self centered, spoiled little girl. It may or may not be true but that's how she comes across to me. I have seen Michelle cry... when she didn't skate her best which I think is more important to her than a medal. Again that may or may not be true, but that's how she comes across to me. I am not saying Michelle is a better person than Sasha. What I'm saying is I like what I've seen of Michelle's personality better than what I've seen of Sasha's personality. I also appreciate Michelle more because it has been a more difficult struggle for her than Sasha. Sasha has way more physical capabilities and has had a much easier time financially than Michelle at the beginning of their careers. You are wrong in saying that Sasha has been put down more than any skater you've ever seen because it is simply not true. Kwan has bee put down for 12 years or so now...much longer than Sasha. I do hope that Sasha has something better to do than read this..like practiing for the Olympics. I am not being mean to Sasha, I am simply stating my opinion of what I've seen of her....don't like her personality and don't get drawn into her skating. With Kwan I like her personlity and like her skating. Understand?
