Cohen's comeback comes up short

When it was all over, Sasha Cohen didn't have any regrets. Her attempted comeback from show performer to Olympian went awry with a series of mistakes during her long program Saturday night at the U.S. figure skating championships, taking the crowd favourite out of the mix and passing the torch to 17-year-old Rachael Flatt and 16-year-old Mirai Nagasu, both of whom will represent the United States in Vancouver. "I wanted to just enjoy skating," Cohen said. "I wasn't able to skate what I wanted to skate, what I'd trained, but I still really appreciate this part of my career, the challenge I embraced and all the obstacles overcome to be here. That was really special for me.
