If she keeps it together and doesn't have any falls I think she has a very good chance of winning.

 

[Joesitz (RIP)]

I think most fans want Sasha to skate her best and win if she is the best on that night.

I hope for Sasha to do well and stand atop the podium, as well. But she's going to have to "keep it together", obviously.
Crossing my fingers!

GOOOO SASHA!!!!

i know she has it in her, and i hope she can do it!

Im rooting for Sashie! Anyone who can skate the way she did at nationals even with Shingles has my vote of confidence!

 

[Fossi]

I thought the Shingles was before Nationals, not during? And the flu was before GPF, or was that TL? I can't keep it straight.
I hope Sasha skates clean.
What does "Sashie" mean? Is that a nickname?

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Sasha. She is so beautiful to watch on the ice & its time to put to rest all the talk that she can't hold it together for Worlds. I believe in her!

When I was at Skate Canada, Sasha came out to view the rink and concentrate. Fans started rushing toward her and very nicely she said not now, I am working. She stood there for about 20 minutes. I was sitting about 6 feet away and was happy I got these pictures.

I'm simply hoping she makes it onto the podium and has a clean skate.

Dee: I love the pictures, especially the first one. I did find the fans staring at Sasha in the second one annoying--that has to irritate a skater at times when they can't even have a moment to get their head together without fans butting in, but she certainly handled it nicely. I guess it comes with the territory! :\

I hope Sasha can keep it together and stand atop the podium! I know she is so capable of it, its just a matter of concentration and 'keeping her head together'. She is so beautiful to watch even without the jumps, and those little mistakes.

Those are some gorgeous photos! She looks amazing even in sweats. Sasha is so sweet, and I think she handled the fans very nicely.

Dee, what a super study of Sasha "at work." You really captured the moment. You should send that first one to Sasha. Maybe she will put it on her web site!

I truely wish Sasha will skate a clean great program. I can not stand some people questioning about her beauty, her dance ability, and her charisma. I can not think of another skater who can match Sasha's.

Alexandra Pauline!
Alexandra Pauline!
She's the cutest little skater that I ever have seen!
Bring on the Russians! Bring on the Kween!
Stand up and cheer for Alexandra Pauline!

Alexandra Pauline!
Alexandra Pauline!
If you say she's not your fav'rite then you're just plain mean!
At '04 Worlds she'll steal the scene
And make the world give it up for Alexandra Pauline!

Alexandra Pauline!
Alexandra Pauline!
Just look at those edges! Look at that lean!
Positions to die for, jumps so clean!
Now seize the moment, Alexandra Pauline!

sh-boom boom.

Love the cheering poem for Sasha. It made people in my house so happy!

 

[roundboypete]

Hi, Jesslily, thanks for liking my poem.

But it's only fair to warn you that I am an equal opportunity cheerleader, and I owe M Zheng a cheer on the Michelle thread. So don't think I have abandoned our Sasha if you see me saying hooray for Michelle and Jenny, too.

SOO cute! I love it!!

And that's the cutest little poem I've ever seen, RBP.

I'm hoping Sasha skates clean, is pleased with how she skates, and lands a spot on the podium.

If Sasha still has problems laying down a clean short and clean long, I hope Robin and Sasha will try working with a sports psychologist. I would first try someone who specializes in treating athletes with motor learning problems. I went into the reasons why in a post on the "Cohen Intends to Go for It" thread on The Edge.

Michelle Kwan

I have been a Michelle Kwan forever, so why would I want to change now. I hope that MK skates well and wins.

Best wishes Michelle in going for the gold.

diamond:love

 

[sarahmistral]

that's cool, diamondqueen; there is an MK good luck thread, and I would guess this thread is Sasha's...but there is nowhere that's really off limits for any of us...
