OlympicTalk: Which skaters did you like to watch or compete against the most?

Cohen: I grew up skating with Yevgeny Plushenko and Aleksey Yagudin. I thought they had this amazing rivalry. I kind of came into the sport in that era of Nancy [Kerrigan] and Tonya [Harding] and this like golden era of skating, so it was very exciting.

I would say Michelle [Kwan] probably was the icon of that time that I skated with.

OlympicTalk: Which Olympic experience was cooler — 2002 or 2006?

Cohen: 2002, because it was new and in the U.S. I was younger. It was kind of all magical.

OlympicTalk: Where is your Olympic medal?

Cohen: My mom has it. It’s in my living room in California.

OlympicTalk: What did you think of the skating in Sochi?

Cohen: It was phenomenal. It’s amazing to see every four years how much the sport progresses. I kind of fall by the wayside in between [Olympics], so to get to see it, I really loved it.

OlympicTalk: What are you doing now?

Cohen: I’m a junior at Columbia University, an international relations major. I’m minoring in business. I’m working at Morgan Stanley over the summer, just transitioning to a New York life. I’m also working with Robin Hood, a charity event as well as Figure Skating in Harlem. I’m enjoying New York and the next phase of my life.

OlympicTalk: You were on a Japanese game show recently?

Cohen: That was last summer. We had to like balance on these little columns that would be moving.

OlympicTalk: And if you fell?

Cohen: Just onto the floor. It didn’t hurt or anything. If you lose your balance, you get eliminated.
