About Sasha Cohen

Sasha Cohen, who’s full name is Alexandra Pauline Cohen, was born in Westwood, California to mother Galina (née Feldman) and father Roger Cohen.

Sasha’s mother was a former ballet dancer, so amazing grace and talent must run through that side of the family (sorry Dad, you’re just a lawyer!)

Sasha is a 6 time medalist at the US Championships, winning the gold medal in 2006 at St. Louis, a two time medalist at the Grand Prix Final, winning the gold medal in 2002-2003 in St. Petersburg, a three time medalist in the World Championships and a silver medalist and the 2006 Olympic Games in Turin.

Sasha Cohen is known for her artistry. She was a ballerina on skates, but she was also a gymnast on skates. Her flexibility was a marvel to watch yet she could land a quadruple jump in competition.

Watching her past performances will almost bring you to tears – she is beautiful and graceful, but a fiercely strong athlete as well.

Sasha married her boyfriend Tom May on August 20, 2016.
