Sasha Cohen 1994

I made a montage with images from the childhood of Sasha Cohen. Most of the video images are from a smuckers dvd. I thought that was on youtube but it isn't anymore so that's why i made a montage of it.

Thank you SO much for this!

You're welcome!

Btw, I just checked in and corrected the original post - I had skipped the second Saári sister (Eva), who skates right before Eva Pawlik.

and fwiw, that outdoor ice ring in the Budapest City Park is still one of the major recreational and special event spots in the city .

Tonight I'll post another Hungarian newsreel clip, one from 1948 Euros in Prague that features Hungarian Men's Champion Ede Király winning the Pairs event. That clip also includes snippets of Aja Vrzanova, Barbara Ann Scott and Dick Button.

**skatesindreams** · 06-21-2012, 03:23 PM

Thanks - I'll look forward to this - and any other "treasures" you find!

Here are Laura Lepistö and Kiira Korpi, both in the same competition in 2002.

Does anyone remember an up close and personal on Michael Weiss either in 92 or 93? I know I had this on tape and thought, wow, why are they filming him? It showed him on a trampoline and he talked about how he was going to win two Olympic gold medals. It had to have been during Nationals coverage or US Olympic Festival coverage. I never could find it again on my tapes, and I've since thrown them all out.

What is sad is that his axel technique is soooooooo awful, you'd think everyone who saw his potential would immediately make him take another coach to teach him an axel. It haunted his entire amateur life. And it was obvious from the start. Quite sad, because I thought he had many great qualities.
