Top Ten Competitive Programs Skated by Sasha Cohen
Sasha is known as one of the most artistic skaters ever. And, in spite of her inconsistency in skating clean, no one could beat her grace and flexibility on the ice. John Nicks, her coach, once said that it was impossible for her to hit an ugly position on the ice.Here, I've ranked the best programs she skated during her competitive career.
She said the music (1968 film score) was very emotional for her, and it showed during her performances. She really felt the music whenever she skated this program. The choreography fit the music perfectly and it suited Sasha.
A Russian folk song, Dark Eyes had an alluring mood to it. She skated this program with a lot of sass.
Spanish-themed and very sassy.
This program was the last competitive program she skated, at the 2010 US Championships. Very beautiful. A fitting last program, I think, as it had a mature air to it.
This was the program she skated when she made her Senior level debut. She wowed everyone with her amazing flexibility and elegant style.
Though the music was very lyrical and quite sappy, Sasha always skated it powerfully. Her unique style and take on the music was interesting to watch.
Her grace and flexibility, like a swan, were totally the character of this music.
Similar in tone to España cañi, this program was also Spanish-themed. Vivacious is the perfect, one word description of it.
Her coach at first objected to her skating to Carmen, as so many other skaters had used it in their programs. But after hearing it, he said it was perfect for her. She skated it powerfully, with a lot of attitude.
I love this piano piece! And Sasha skated it very dramatically.
Who hasn't skated to the Nutcracker? But it was nice to see Sasha's take on the music.
