What bothers me most about Sasha is that no matter how well she has done in the SP or preliminary rounds of a major event, in the FS a different Sasha appears on the ice: a scared, timid Sasha who skates without conviction or spark. In a non-major event (e.g. a cheesefest or a GP event), she isn't nearly as up tight as she is in a major like the US or World championship.
This has been true regardless of her coach of the moment, and I'm not convinced Robin can make a difference. It is still Sasha who is out there on the ice---alone.
