Olympic Visitor

I am still trying to figure out for sure, but I believe that we just had an Olympic Silver Medalist in our midst about 2 weeks ago. A couple came through for an evening class and really enjoyed themselves. As Amy was chatting with them, she found out that they are ice skaters traveling around on vacation. She was a little too busy trying to light the heater to talk with them extensively, but she was able to get to know them a little bit.

Today, I printed several classes worth of pictures and started putting them in our guest book. As I got to their picture, I noticed that the girl's name was Alexandra Cohen. The name rung a bell, and thought it might be Sasha's little sister. After doing a little research, it comes to be that Sasha Cohen was born Alexandra Cohen, but goes by Sasha. Then comparing the 1 picture I have of them with the vast amounts of pics on the internet, I am 90% positive they are one in the same. Now I just need to email them their recipes and ask the obvious question.

A possible Silver Medalist in our little ole cooking school! How awesome!

In the Slavic languages, Sasha is the diminutive form of Alexander/Alexandra -- much like Bob is to Robert, Kate is to Katherine, etc.
