With Kwan expected to sit out this season, Hughes and Cohen will compete for the U.S. spotlight. Cohen doesn't see it as a budding teen-age rivalry with the Olympic champion, but everyone else surely will.
"The one thing I feel about it is that I always plan things out for myself, and my plan was to win in Salt Lake," she said. "But it was also Michelle's plan to win there. Things don't go always to plan.
"One thing I am most disappointed in was not skating as well in the long. If I skated my best, maybe that could have been me. But it's no use to think about what you can't change. I'll take the experience and try to make sure it does not happen again."
Cohen will unveil her new free skate program, to music by Rachmaninoff, at Friday night's "Stars, Stripes and Skates." Cohen joins Olympic medalists Nancy Kerrigan, Timothy Goebel and Viktor Petrenko as headliners in the benefit show. Proceeds will be used for scholarships for children of the victims of the Sept. 11 attacks, as well as for children victims of future crime and terrorism.
"It's a great cause," Cohen said of her eagerly offering to perform, "and when I heard about it and how it is a benefit for victims of terrorist acts - and in Madison Square Garden in New York at this time, it was very emotional and an honor to be invited. And it's a great chance to do my program there in front of everyone."
Rachmaninoff - as I had suspected! YAY!!! :D
