The 2006 national champion earned silver at the 2006 Olympics in Turin, Italy, and then took three years off from competition—though not from skating, performing on tour and at events such as the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree lighting.

She almost made it to Vancouver in 2010, ending up as a team alternate after coming in fourth at the U.S. Championships, but then ultimately retired later that year.

Cohen made numerous TV appearances and she graduated from Columbia University in 2016 with a degree in political science. Having already published a memoir, Fire on Ice, when she was 19, she's been pretty open about the intense pressure she faced while competing.

"As a teenage athlete, you're hyper-focused on making and winning the Olympics, then often forced to retire at an early age," she told US Figure Skating Fan Zone in 2021. "You go from being really good at something in the spotlight with a ton of support, press and sponsorships, to being somebody of yesterday."

Last year she hosted Sasha Sessions: A Team USA Podcast, in which she interviewed guests including activists, artists, journalists and fellow Olympians such as Apolo Ohno, Adam Rippon and Laurie Hernandez.

Cohen married hedge fund manager Tom May in August 2016 but they divorced in 2018. Celebrating her birthday in October 2019, she wrote on Instagram, "I think I'm a little wiser, more resilient, and closer to figuring out (and prioritizing) the things that really matter in life." And in January 2020 she welcomed son Dashiell with fiancé Geoffrey Lieberthal.
