After Sasha Cohen screwed the pooch during the free skate and took 2nd, most people thought, “how the hell do you fall twice and win silver?” Well, when the people who skate after you stink up the joint as well, that’s how you get silver.
Of course, this reinforces the notion that Cohen tends to choke.
The 2003 and 2004 national championships. The 2004 worlds. Even the Salt Lake City Olympics. She went into the free skate with a chance to medal, if not win, and she faltered at all of them.
Not only did Sasha lose the gold medal, she seems to have lost the affections of the Flying Tomato. Rumors are that Shaun White is currently dating Lindsay Lohan. I guess she digs gold medals.
