COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Olympic silver medalist Sasha Cohen has withdrawn from the first Grand Prix figure skating event of the season because of tendinitis in her right calf.

The 2006 runner-up at the Turin Games is making a comeback after not competing since the 2006 world championships. But she said Friday she will not skate at the Trophee Eric Bompard in Paris after consultation with an orthopedic surgeon.

Cohen says she is confident she will be ready for Skate America, Nov. 12-15 in Lake Placid, N.Y.
