Follow your dreams, work hard, practice and persevere. Make sure you eat a variety of foods, get plenty of exercise and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Skaters have to follow certain guidelines. Hopefully, you'll see people with more interesting spins and focusing on the rest of the program and not just the jumps.

I really enjoyed the performance tonight, and I've had a whole week of unknowns, being in bed with the flu. Ice is slippery, and anything can happen to anybody. I have seen that at numerous events. I am going to have fun out there and trust my training and not worry. I have figured out that worry doesn't help.
Sasha Cohen -
It can be frustrating, ... But I am where I am, and everyone has their own trajectory. I know my time will come. I just have to be ready for it.
Sasha Cohen -
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.
Sasha Cohen -
I think about winning the Olympic gold medal a couple of times every day. Oh, it would be so nice to take one of those home.

No matter where I am, especially when I'm on tour around the country, Caesar salad is my standby. In a random city and eating in random to-go restaurants, you're kind of scared about trying things, but you can always count on a Caesar salad.

I asked him to say hi to my mom to prove he was there, and he was really great and nice and talked to her for a couple of minutes. My mom said she nearly fell off her chair, she was so excited.

I was proud of myself for what I overcame with being sick this week. But it definitely would mean more with Michelle here. She's won so many titles in the past, and I was always second, but I'm not complaining about this title.
Sasha Cohen -
I'm used to skating in all positions, first or last. You take it all in stride and do your job.
Sasha Cohen -
I think it's always tough coming back from an injury, physically and mentally. But Michelle has proven herself in different situations and she's a tough competitor.

My mom and her parents had to leave because her brother had left a couple of years before and the government was really upset. They took away both my grandparents' jobs, so they couldn't make a living. They had to sell all their things. They weren't allowed to take more than $500 out of the country.
Sasha Cohen -
Society always focuses on the negatives. I think they should focus on things I do well like my Axel. It was really good. It is my job to change society.
Sasha Cohen -
I enjoyed the experience. I'm just really ecstatic to come out with a medal.

A year ago I had a back injury and followed a good nutrition program to help speed up my recovery. I focused on exercise and staying healthy in order to get back out on the ice.
Sasha Cohen -
I was somehow able to block it out and pull myself together for the rest of the program. But it just wasn't my night.
Sasha Cohen -
It happens. We're not robots. Just kind of get up and do it again.
Sasha Cohen -
I was disappointed and in a little bit of shock. I had a really hard time with a couple of jumps in the warm-up and I just couldn't get over it. I definitely didn't think I was going to get any medal at all at the end of the program, so it was a nice surprise.
Sasha Cohen -
I do a variety of activities like Pilates, bike riding, physical therapy, and running. I also train on the ice five to six days a week. On the ice, I work on my programs as a whole and the individual technical elements that comprise the programs.
Sasha Cohen -
Definitely you have to be able to handle pressure and shake off any mistake and I kind of didn't do that tonight. I let that first mistake creep in. I have to be tougher.

It is a little weird without her here. It's kind of like me and all these little girls. It's a little empty without her here, but I've got some of my own things to worry about right now.
Sasha Cohen -
I eat a variety of foods like vegetables, fruit and beef for protein and iron.
Sasha Cohen -
Ultimately, it's only four minutes in one day out of my life.
Sasha Cohen -
Usually, the Olympics is a bit stronger competition.
