"Who Am I Now?" Searching for Meaning Post-Olympics and Building a New Way of Living with Figure Skating Champion & Olympic Medalist Sasha Cohen

January 26, 2023 • Nines • Season 1 • Episode 18

Sasha Cohen is known for her incredible figure skating career. She's a 6-time medalist at the US Championships, with a gold medal in 2006, and a 3-time medalist at the World Championships, but she spent 20 years laser-focused on one goal: winning gold at the Olympic Games.

She went to the Olympics in 2002 and 2006, first as a rising star, then as the favorite. And after falling in the first two jumps of her long program, she left Torino with a silver medal — a moment she says she's still processing.

Today, Sasha has a totally different career, a passion for investing and entrepreneurship, and two kids under the age of three. But she says those two decades of skating serve as the foundation for who she is.

During this conversation in her home in Colorado, Sasha shares how she's reshaped her identity, what happiness and success look like to her now, and why, whether you win or lose, you're left asking yourself, “who are you now?” Make Yourself at Home with Sasha Cohen.
