Ouch...she's in 6th...

[ForeverFish]

Only about 3 points behind 3rd, but still. This is awful for her.

54.08 for Gracie.

Did she have falls????? Details?????

So since politics still enters into the scores, why are we bothering with this BS scoring system which disconnects the audience from the results and has injured skaters with legs flying out of their sockets? How about returning to 6.0 with NO anonymous judging, and institute a judging oversight committee.

I didn't think that US Nationals had anonymous judging. Can someone clarify?

Did she have falls????? Details?????

An UR and popped 2A, from what I've heard. I'm impressed that she's in front of Caroline, though...

Nah, Mirai had been getting so many UR calls that season (internationally), it was obvious that she was URing all over the place. Nationals isn't was not an exception. If I'm not mistaken, she had UR calls at the Olympics too.

Agree on the 200+ pt. mark though.

I seem to remember that Mirai didn't get UR call during the FS at the Olympics, or at least not many. Rachael got two, which many people deemed unfair after seeing the vids.

They definitely didn't have a choice but to keep Gracie down because of mistakes on important elements, plus she was too nervous to present to a better level. If Gold didn't have the name and rep (plus a good showing at one GP), she would have scored lower here for the same skate.

Gracie's score puts an even bigger spotlight on the fact that Zhang should have placed higher, Cesario should have been higher and even Hannah Miller should have placed higher.

I like how Tonia said Caroline was just "a little bit" short on the 2nd loop as the slo-mo clearly showed the underrotations.

[ForeverFish]

Well, this pretty much kills her chances at Worlds or even 4CC, unless USFSA wants to be very generous.

[os168]

Anyone knows Gracie's PCS? Just curious.

What do you mean by "impressed?" In a good way or a bad way?

You're right. I really wanted to see Gracie at 4CC and Worlds... Maybe if she does better at FS tomorrow she'll go to 4CC but Worlds? Probably not:(
