I realize I seem to be in the minority, but I am really loving Gold's performances this year. She wasn't really on my radar as a personal favorite last year despite her explosion onto the scene, but I love her skating this year. I really enjoy the short program, it is looking better each time. Yes, I can see she is a little stiff with her upper body, but she has a real crispness and confidence to her movements that I just enjoy. She is hitting the choreo flourishes to the music well I think, she's got a bold non-typical music choice (I know most don't like it, but I do) -- I just really enjoy watching her out there. I think (well, maybe I'm just hoping, but anyway) she has a good chance to settle into competition and take it better in stride and really be a contender. But regardless, I really just enjoy watching her. She holds my attention throughout her programs.
