COP was used during the gran prix that year. Tarasova choreographed a program that would pull in points so Sasha could win ... even if she fell. Tarasova was a smart coach!!!

100% agree. This girl is still one of my favorite skaters. MC is still #1, but is SC was more consistent, she would be at the top. This performance was fierce as $#IT.

If she did this at Olympics nobody could touch her. She is best in the world , BUT always choked .
In my dreams Sasha did this FS at the 2006 Olympics and won the gold. Sigh. :)

RIGHT?!
Arguably there is no skater in history with her artistry. This and her 2006 Olympic short program are her best IMHO.
4:32 As everybody gags at the unusual and striking arm positions on Sasha's scratch, I want to point out that the centering of the spin doesn't get better than this: it's perfection.
Oh Sasha! Wonderful!!!
Stunning
That spin at the very end, I've never seen anything like it. Amazing!!!

Lucinda Rhu in all fairness is the best spinner of all time. Her forward spins were surreal. At least imo. But yes, Sasha was exquisite.
She is my all time favorite skater.
Stunning, Beautiful, Gorgeous!!!. I think Mr. Button liked this performance.
Her spiral makes me cry.
There's no one that can say one bad thing about this performance. It's absolutely perfect..the jumps, the spins, the artistry. Ugh this is what is missing in figure skating today.

You're right. Even Vera Wang said that she really liked Sasha's costumes. My favorite is the blue Rachmaninoff dress she wore at the beginning of the 02-03 season.
When she was on I don't know if there was ever anybody who did it better.

As far as spiral sequences, Sasha is still unparalleled. 🔥
Wow what a performance! I love watching her skate. And that I-spin at the end!
One of the cleanest programs she ever skated!!! She's amazing! 😍😍
This was absolutely exquisite! I come back to watch these programs to remind me of how figure skating should be done! Just stunning!
No one quite like her, the best I've ever seen
That last spin just blew my mind!! 🤯
Still one of the most beautiful skaters in history. There will never be another Sasha
This was the first time I saw Sasha perform and it was live. I was shocked to speechless! Nobody could or can convince me that there's some skater anywhere better than this. None. Has anyone repeated that last spin in that exact manner since? Oh, and there are some other moves I have never seen in some of her performances elsewhere. Maybe one day I will watch in detail again to tag the unique yet-to-be-repeated moves from the Queen herself!
I could watch this on repeat for hours on end.

Sasha will ever remain a beautifully artistic skater, my favorite. Dick Button, the most critical voice, proclaimed her the best in the business. Brilliant!
Que Belleza!!! Cuando valía la pena ver el patinaje!! No existen patinadoras con este carisma en la actualidad!! Punto.
I like that move at 2:08, and that spin at 4:31. Her outfit is stunning, so made for a swan :) I love her elongated arms ,so graceful.
Brilliant and that ending scratch spin was beyond believe! Brava!!!

Sensational. Absolutely stunning. Those spins at the end were breathtaking.
Thats last spin OMG!!! Best spinner ever!
I'm a Kwan fan, but this program was perfect for Sasha. And this skate, was the best she ever performed it. Compare this skate to her 2003 Campbell's performance (which was also amazing). That one was so focused on her spins and spirals. But this performance, it showed that she could jump and I liked that.

COP was used during the gran prix that year. Tarasova choreographed a program that would pull in points so Sasha could win ... even if she fell. Tarasova was a smart coach!!! From what I remember Sasha was too lazy to stay with her so she went to Robin Wagner. They split too and Robin even stated that Sasha didn't want to practice.

Simply the most beautiful figure on ice that i have ever seen, or ever will see.
Perfect skating to perfect choreography to the music. A trifecta.
One of the best programs I’ve ever seen so exquisite perfection in every single move!
I always love watching her perform. She's so stunning. Definitely one of the best of all time.
I miss this type of skating so much. Today's figure skating is all just about how many quads and triple-triples you can throw into your program.

I wished more of the recent skaters took more of their time in doing lines and spins like this. Now no one ever does the the mové where they keep the leg up for a long time. And they dont take their time on the layback spin
The most beating program i ever seen.....period......💗
Just stunning. Period!

Браво Саша! 💐💐💐
Skaters of the past were really allowed to feel the music. Todays skaters, while still very impressive, seem like they don't even have time to feel and interpret the music to tell a story. Until you get to ice dance/solo ice dance, I believe this art is preserved in ice dance alone
Even now today with all the top Russian skaters NONE of them can spin or spiral like that. Incredible! Immaculate artistry miss it.
A stunning masterwork on ice by the supremely talented and graceful Sasha Cohen. I miss this kind of artistic skating. My scores: 5.8/6.0.
Imagine if she had done this in Torino 2006...
What’s really missing in the programs today...glorious spirals, true level 4 choreo and step sequences...and that scratch spin...sigh..., tanos, flat blade assists and pre-rotated quad jumps packed into the last 90 seconds to gain bonus points just don’t do the sport any justice.

sherryanng19 yes she fell a lot but her contributions to the sport are undeniable. she ushered in the importance of super flexibility, and also made an impact on the relevance of the grade of execution, esp. in respect of jumps and its phases. she is the so called princess of air position, she is the standard model used to teach air position using dartfish tech., she created many spins positions that are now commonplace, etc...

So out of observation, she performed well under Wagner and Tarasova than with Nicks. And the other thing. Is how well did she really performed under Nicks? She looked so happy there while with Wagner . The other thing. Tarasova, reacted positively towards Sasha.
