Skating starlet Sasha Cohen won’t be competing at the United States Figure Skating Championships this year.
The USFSA confirmed its roster, and US Champion Sasha Cohen is not on the list of competitors. She announced that she is taking a break from competition.
Sasha, the reigning 2006 National Champion medaled in every competition she entered last season. As much as she likes competing, she admits that the rigor is tough to sustain. She has recently skated for the pure enjoyment of it and delved into many other artistic venues, including acting.
Cohen emphasizes she is not retiring. She has her sights set on the 2009 Word Championships. Sasha earned a silver medal at the last Olympics and hopes to compete in the 2010 Olympic Winter Games.
