My two teen daughters are absolutely enthralled by Sasha Cohen. However, after watching her skate, I wonder if her amazing chutzpah and presence is stronger than her skating skills. Do you think that she can pull it off?

In response to Sasha Cohen posted by bobcajun:


Sasha is technically competitive and artistically dominating. All she's had to do to claim major titles (since Michelle dropped & when Sasha's injury-free) was skate clean. Her mental game is her nemesis. I was rootin' for her during the Olympics, but I knew she'd blow it -- and she did. In her webjournal, she hints at the extreme roll nerves have played in her competitions.
