Is Sasha Cohen really going for the 2010 winter olympics?

Question

I've heard an interview with her and she claims to be going for the next olympics, but I think the chances of her succeeding are pretty slim, considering the fact that she doesn't have any triple-triples...

Answer 1

I would have said yes if she had planned on competing this present season, but she obviously sees that she earns far more money doing ice show routines which are low impact on her back. Her old back injury is probably a huge factor as to why she hasn't come back.

It isn't too late for her to consider moving to Pair skating. If she and Lysacek teamed up, they could easily become Olympic champions. They both live in LA and seem to have compatible personalities. He's amazingly tall and she's not much taller than me. Lysacek has even done some lifts with her in Ice Shows just to show it could be physically possible for him to do lifts and such.

She's so tiny and good at spinning fast that she could do a quad throw Salchow if he throws her high enough into the air.

Answer 2

it all depends on nationals of that year and who falls and who doesnt haha

Answer 3

I hope she´s going"/

Answer 4

sasha is not coming back. she probably retired. i know all of her fans will give me a thumbs down but she hasn't been skating for like 2 yrs. its way too late to get programs down now, also with all these new skaters like rachel and caroline its gonna be really hard for her to come back. ( - 8*

Answer 5

she is one of the world best skaters as far as artistic element; however with the new system wich require a lot of jumping, I don't think she would fair well
