COURMAYEUR, Italy -- The contrast could not have been more stark. In a practice with top-secret Pentagon overtones, Sasha Cohen worked out behind locked doors yesterday and then slipped out a side door without talking to reporters. Ice dancing Belbin turns past political obstacles. PG 9F

Turin, Italy -- The melodrama of Michelle Kwan's last Olympics deepened yesterday, when the U.S. figure skater looked like anything but a five-time world champion during her first public practice since making the team on a medical waiver. Kwan missed three triple jumps and fell hard before leaving the ice early looking dejected. At a news conference afterward, Kwan, 25, left the door open to withdrawing from her third Olympics. "Physically, if I'm not able to skate, I would give my spot up," she said.

2 Overtime periods the Fallston girls basketball team needed to get past Rising Sun, 56-55, last Thursday. The Cougars prevailed despite squandering a 17-point halftime lead. 6.3 Assists Joppatowne guard Sasha Matthew is averaging per game, tied for the best in the area. 17 Points the Joppatowne boys basketball team scored in the first half last week against Aberdeen. That left the usually potent Mariners with a 20-point deficit, and Aberdeen went on to a 73-58 victory.
