Thank you! I can't believe you're just the second one on this thread up to this point that has even mentioned her name. I think she's by far the most graceful and interesting skater we have. NOT the most consistent, and does have the problem of not being able to skate clean programs many times, but boy she sure did herself proud at Nationals.
Sasha Cohen (that's three times her name has been mentioned haha).... is really on her game these days - her skating this year has been fantastic - and I think she has finally conquered her demons.
What makes her such a dramatic skater and one unafraid to try such impossible positions while flashing down the length of the ice IS the same thing which gives her nerves.
I believe she will do well, but don't forget Slutskaya....
this will be her last Olympics no doubt... and she is as formidable as little Cohen....plus she is a better jumper which this year seems to count for more.
The jumps would have done Kwan in anyway - she is more of a presentation skater than a technical one.
I apologize if the members here don't think this is an important discussion, but I appreciate having a place where I feel I can say goodbye to Kwan after so many years of watching her grow into the sport - and a true Olympic athlete to represent this country.
