A look inside the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, B.C.

Leave it to Sasha Cohen to spice things up.
The Olympic silver medalist confirmed Wednesday she is returning to competitive figure skating in hopes of earning a spot at the Vancouver Games. She has submitted paperwork to U.S. Figure Skating that would enable her to compete at Grand Prix events this fall.
“I’ve been excited,” Cohen told The Associated Press by phone from Winnipeg, Manitoba, where she is touring with Stars on Ice. “Every day it’s closer and real, so it’s very exciting to me.”
