Cover Story
WINTER OLYMPICS
from page 55
In The Limelight
Some experts consider 17-year-old figure
skater Sasha Cohen from Laguna
Niguel, Calif, as a top contender for the
gold. "She was really on form at the U.S.
Championship [six weeks ago]," her
coach, John Nicks, said. "She has trained
well since then."
Cohen's success has brought atten-
tion, including invitations from numer-
ous Jewish groups, Nicks said. Still, she
has remained unfazed.
"It's exciting and fun, but it's not real-
ity," Cohen told the Los Angeles Jewish
Journal. "I'm enjoying it now, but when
it's not here, that's OK, too,"
Cohen will be one of three female
figure skaters representing the United
States in Salt Lake. She earned the silver
medal with her second-place finish at
last month's U.S. Figure Skating
Championships, overcoming an injury
to fulfill her Olympic dream.
The 5-foot-1, 94-pound skater didn't
have a bat mitzvah, but she always wears
around her neck a gold medallion whose
back is a Star of David, even wearing
this gift from her grandmother's friend
during competitions.
Last year, Cohen was forced to with-
draw from the 2001 Nationals with a
stress fracture in a vertebra and missed
the skating season. She underwent
extensive physical therapy and changed
her training and diet.
Her perseverance paid off. In recent
months, she rocked the skating scene. To
rebuild her reputation with the judges,
Cohen skated a heavy fall schedule. She
finished fifth at Skate America, fourth at
September's Goodwill Games, third at
November's Trophee Lalique in Paris
and first in the Finlandia Trophy —
all stops on Cohen's road to the 2002
U.S. National Championships.
Nicks, who has coached Cohen for
five years, said she's poised to win a
medal despite her inexperience.
"She really hasn't reached her poten-
tial yet," he said. "But she's ready." [11
