And she looked amazing! One fall, but other than that, everything else looks amazing. Even better than when she competed in 2002! Made other skaters' heads turn. That's what I call awesome! Links below for the article and some photos of her practice session yesterday.
Cohen Is Back on Ice After a Long Absence (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/21/sports/olympics/21cohen.html)
Headline-grabbing Cohen takes the ice in Spokane (http://web.icenetwork.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20100120&content_id=7945138&vkey=ice_news)
Sasha Cohen Practices at Nationals (http://www.nbcolympics.com/photos/galleryid=397491.html#sasha+cohen+practices+nation als)
I am glad she is back to compete one last time. Skating hasn't been the same since she left (and this includes Michelle Kwan). I know the younger skaters aren't too thrilled that she is back and grabbing a lot of attention, but you know what, they have many years ahead of them to be in the spotlight. This is Sasha's last chance to try and get Gold at Vancouver. I don't blame her for trying! So, my vote for Vancounver: Sasha Cohen and Alissa Czisny. I am kinda bummed that NOT ONE ARTICLE has been dedicated to Alissa since she IS our current reigning US Champion. Even practice session pictures included all of the major senior level ladies, and none of Alissa. But, I know she prefers to be in the shadows and not having the spotlight shine directly on her.
