Biography Competitive Results Behind The Scenes

Sasha’s star quality shines more brightly today than when she won Silver for the United States at the 2006 Olympic Games in Turin. And Sasha’s worldwide influence in fashion, exercise, nutrition and lifestyle is cutting-edge as she leads the way in promoting a healthy physical and mental daily regimen that stretches across all demographics.

 

“I concentrate in living in the now,” Sasha says. It’s the same philosophy Sasha has lived with and the same values that continue to expand her fan, consumer and marketing base. Sasha’s time management skills allow her to keep what many would consider an exhaustive schedule.

 

Sasha, 24, took a respite from competitive skating after her second straight Olympics and U.S. National Championship, to visit avenues of life she had to detour during the intensive training required of an elite athlete competing for her sport’s highest honor.

 

Sasha’s post-competitive credits include movies, prime time television and commercials (Citizen, Got Milk?, Simply Saline). Roles have been written for her to take advantage of her actress/model beauty, her presentation and communication skills and the fame she wears modestly.

 

Sasha studied a semester at the renowned and intensive The New York Film Academy at Harvard and has taken speech and a variety of acting classes from some of Hollywood’s top coaches to learn the subtleties that make a good actress great. Scripts routinely arrive for Sasha’s perusal.

 

Reality shows frequently ask Sasha to participate. Project Runway, with Heidi Klum, was a big success when contestants were asked to make a skating dress for Sasha. Other projects include a proposed show written around her. Time constraints have proved to be the deciding factor in Sasha’s decision-making process that has limited her exploration of more TV and movie projects.

 

USA Today in January featured Sasha in a full-page interview on her use of Yoga to maintain physical fitness and injury prevention in combination with its ways to enhance mental health. Typically for Sasha, she illustrated her strength, flexibility and concentration with a pose reserved for only the most successful practioners of Yoga.  She has been featured on magazine covers and in stories in Yoga magazines promoting its healthy benefits.

 

When Sasha tours with Stars on Ice, the buzz she creates for her signature fashion designs is as highly anticipated as her sensational skating programs and music selection. Sasha has the sketches and dresses from all of her competitions. Her one-of-a kind dresses are dynamic in style, fabric and colors and are unique to her sport. Sasha says she plans to delve into fashion designing in the future. She is deluged with requests for reproductions or designs for skaters and similar designs for young women.

 

World-renowned photographer Mario Sorrenti, who spotted Sasha skating at a rink in New York City, photographed her for the high-fashion French V magazine. Some of the photos were used in a Paris edition this year. Sasha has also been featured in Vogue and other international and national photo spreads.

 

Sasha is as much an ambassador for her charities as she is for her sport. She is active in promoting her charities and quietly embraces causes that impact on youth and families. Recognizing that young people are influenced by what they see in public, Sasha thrives on being a role model. Her autobiography “Fire On Ice”, published by HarperCollins, is a testament to Sasha’s disciplined lifestyle and unconditional family support. The book sold out of its hardback printing and a soft cover was in high demand well before its release date.
