Gracie Gold

132.48, total 186.57 and in 1st!

That's going to be hard to beat... At least in the FS

[christinaskater]

186.57!

Wow...132+ for Gold....only Kim (I believe) has had a higher FS score this year. Can anyone verify this? Kim scored 145+ in her FS at Korean Nationals.

Pretty safe to say Gracie locked up at least pewter.

[christinaskater]

WOW! Hannah Miller then Gracie!

[bixby]

132.49 for Gracie. She can pull up all the way to the world team with this if Agnes and Mirai leaves some points in the table.

Okay, battle royale, alright. Who cares right now re Gracie's need to work more on the component (artistic) aspects!? It's not as if figure skating PTB have ever held out artistry to be the most important aspect of skating. Personally, I think it is equally important as technical ability. But in this sport, if you can jump and look good, and give some semblance of potential in other areas, you will get the marks.

Samantha Cesario is also on tonight!

This has been a really exciting free skate and the final group hasn't even skated yet!

Oh man...a rare thing, a beautiful spread eagle...

Mirai was 115.50 at NHK for a pretty decent program. Gao 117.62 at Skate america..... Hmm. This makes scoring very interesting for the last flight. Will Gracie claim that second world spot. It's certainly possible.

Samantha's dress, did she borrow that from Ashley???

Cesario doing a fabulous job! Love her and so glad she's healthy again. This group of ladies way exceeded expectations. What a great competition to have a ticket to and see it from the stands!
