SASHA COHEN IS ATTEMPTING A COMEBACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good new for US figure skating... bad news for all the skaters trying to make the team. But who knows, maybe she won't make it very far. Her ankle is currently injured, and she's starting training in June. Because she was a silver medalist in the Torino 2006 Olympics, she is automatically qualified to nationals. (She also competed in 2002, and placed 4th) She has said that she would except an invitation to compete a skate america. Skate America is part of the Grand Prix, which is a series of 6(?) competitions from which the top 6 skaters are invited to the final. Skaters hoping to take part in the final compete in 2 events each. Since Sasha did not compete last year, she will have to be invited by the organizers. Skate America seems likely, if only for the TV ratings. A 2nd event is less likely, but not out of the question. Assignments will be given at the end of this month.
Kimmie Meissner is keeping her short program from last year. Her new long program music will be Romeo and Juliet. (love you, twitter)
Emily Hughes is taking the year off of school to concentrate on skating.
Ok, now I've said something about each of the skaters on the 2006 Olympics team (the ladies, that is) and I can't think of anything else, so we'll leave it at that. FYI, for ladies and pairs the US has 2 spots at the Olympics next year, and for men's and ice dance we have 3. (3 is the max)
UPDATE: Michelle Kwan sounds like a maybe for a comeback? Those tweets sound a bit like hints... Click HERE.
