Is Sasha Cohen still competing in skating?
In December 2006, Cohen announced that she needed "a little
downtime from competing" and that she will not defend her US Figure
Skating Championship title in 2007. She again stressed that her
"major goals" are the 2009 World Figure Skating Championships and
the 2010 Olympics; "I know I want to be in Vancouver for the 2010
Olympics." Cohen did not compete in the 2006-2007 competitive
season, although she did perform exhibitions, including at the
Rockefeller Christmas Tree lighting and at USFSA-approved events.
She has not given up her Olympic-eligibility. Cohen has signed on
to be a headliner in the 2007-2008 Stars on Ice tour.
