Passport To Gold 2010

Sasha Cohen is Back to Try for Her Third Olympics

With hopes of competing at her third Olympics in 2010, 24 year-old Sasha Cohen is back from her skating break and is getting ready to come to Spokane to shine her star quality at the U.S. Championships, on and off the ice.
 
Her worldwide influence in fashion, exercise, nutrition and lifestyle seems to stretch across demographics.
 
Sasha’s signature figure skating fashion designs are in high demand for their dynamic style, fabric and colors, her autobiography, “Fire On Ice,” sold out of its hardback printing well before its release date, and her movies, Stars on Ice tours, television appearances and interviews have won over a huge fan base intrigued by what she’s going to tackle next. Sasha has also studied a semester at the renowned and intensive New York Film Academy at Harvard.
 
Sasha is as much an ambassador for her charities as she is for her sport. She is active in promoting her charities and quietly embraces causes that impact on youth and families. Recognizing that young people are influenced by what they see in public, Sasha thrives on being a role model.
 
Sasha talks about her decision to return to competitive skating.
