First Axel?

[Candleonwater]

Does anyone know how old Michelle Kwan and Sasha Cohen were when they landed their first single axels? I've heard that Sarah Hughes was 5.

I've heard that, too... Sasha didn't start skating until she was seven, so my guess would be eight or so, although I don't know for sure. I think maybe I heard somewhere that Michelle was seven? Not sure where I heard that though.
