Sasha Cohen Top Quotations

I think it's the committee's job to name the strongest possible team, and hopefully if everyone's in their top form, they probably made the best decision.

It's wonderful. It means so much to skate well, and then be rewarded on top of that is icing on the cake.

I stayed strong, and I believed in myself and to finish up a strong program and get a standing ovation and then to have the judges give me great marks on top of that was everything I could have asked for.

In a way it kind of humanizes the sport to see that people can be at the very top of the sport and have hard times.

In a way it kind of humanizes the sport. She is someone that has been an icon that's always been there, and you have always seen her hard edge and she's always competed and done well. And to see that people can be at the very top of the sport and can also have hard times just humanizes it for other athletes. To know there are good times and there are bad times, and you have to persevere and kind of deal with what life gives you.

You just have to stay on top of the ball, and keep calling people and asking people, and not get one opinion, but 20. It always changes. It's very important to be involved as a skater because ultimately no one cares more about how you do than yourself.

My big weaknesses (in the past) have been a lack of preparation, a lack of knowledge and perhaps not enough confidence and afraid of mistakes. I need to stop trying to be perfect and just worry about becoming better.

I've stopped trying to be perfect. When I train, I'm not afraid to make a mistake. I train harder and make more mistakes, but I feel more prepared. I'm not holding back and becoming a better athlete.

It's going to be like starting over. Like the short didn't really count. Back to square one. It's kind of like the old system. Anybody in the top three can win.

I've always tried to be perfect. And I need to stop trying to be perfect and worry about becoming better.

It kind of humanizes the sport. She's been an icon of the sport. To see that people can be at top of the sport and also have hard times, it humanizes the sport.

She's the World Champion from last year. She's skated really strongly all season. She's definitely one of the top contenders.

For whatever reason, the pro world has kind of died out, and the skaters are staying in, staying competitive, putting in the effort, the training to stay at the top of their game. It's difficult.
