Sasha Cohen

Sasha Cohen is remembered for beauty as much as for medals, and that distinction matters to me. The 2006 Olympic silver, the World podiums, the U.S. title are all impressive, but her real signature was artistry, flexibility, body lines, musical interpretation. She belonged to that breed of skater whose program lingers in the memory longer than the scoreboard. At just 158 cm she conjured an expansiveness on the ice that felt outsized. Carving out a life in New York after retirement, she carried that grace forward. Athletes who leave behind art rather than only results earn my deepest respect, and Cohen is one of them.
