Her leaving twitter hardly supports that position.
Ah yes, leaving Twitter. Infallibly compelling evidence.

What is wrong with you? Seriously? I feel like you'd be the type to kick a puppy on the street just because you didn't like its colour. You have nothing nice to say about any skater that isn't one of your uber-favourites... you deride Wagner for falling on her butt -- oh, and how's your precious Yuzuru's 4S coming along?
Fact: Ashley still has way more GP medals than Gold, has actual GOLD medals internationally (which Gracie hasn't earned), has the highest World ranking of the US women, and is so decorated that she's the only US woman who could get away with a 4th place finish and still go to Sochi because of how consistent she's been. The only thing Gold has over Ashley is a single US championship -- which is also her first win over Ashley in all of the meetings these two have had.
I'm really curious as to what your skating background is, as you strike me as a couch skater (or couch hater, if you will) -- the type who barely set foot on the ice as a kid, barely skates even recreationally as an adult (if your immaturity even lends us to calling you that), and certainly hasn't competed because otherwise you would have much greater respect for athletes who are trying their hardest to do something that is inherently very hard to begin with. You should be ashamed of yourself, but shame is clearly something you're incapable of because shame requires respecting oneself... which is hardly likely in your case, considering the disrespect you show towards others.
There's only one thing that's worn out, and that's your constant put-downs, broken record repetitive tripe about Ashley worn out/Sotnikova being a headcase/Tukt having weight issues/etc., and your general disdain for the world. Our sport is something that is supposed to be positive, and while criticism is welcome, there is absolutely no need for the crap you've been spewing.
That's true and I don't mean to underestimate the pressure gold will face. I just meant that if she skates great and ends up 5th people won't see it as a failure but as evidence of her promise. Still, you're right it IS the Olympics and it will be hard for anyone not to get overwhelmed. That's one thought I've had about Ashley: she says going to the Olympics is icing on the cake and that nationals is more pressure. But she's never been to the Olympics. She can't know what it will be like to skate at such a huge global event until she gets there. The media glare will be tremendous. Worlds isn't the same.

I don't think leaving Twitter instead of staying and being flamed is an example of her letting the haters get to her. It's probably her taking a break from social media to focus on Sochi.
you didnt read her comment ?
she knows about the environment of the Mirai scandal, and she has been one of thr targeted in the net and forums

And taking pleasure in the fact that she's left Twitter and suggesting that it's the haters getting to her (essentially a win for the haters) is pretty deplorable in itself. What people have against this girl, particularly when it's the USFSA decision, I have no idea.
I can just imagine some of the trolls wishing Gracie/Ashley/whoever to crash and burn even BEFORE Nationals. Makes sense that Gracie took herself off social media and just concentrated on training. I hope the ladies stay away through the end of the season.
Ashley drinking wine-----and I believed that article that said she was living off peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

... Not winning and shutting off the internet is giving Ashley fewer distractions for the next three weeks.
Ashley read some hateful tweets unfortunately. That is why she decided to get off of twitter and other social media. I can't imagine why you would think that the reason is something so bland as to just 'take a break'. Let's keep it real.
Ashley is the undeserving white princess and Mirai is the spit upon Asian.
It's tempting to write Wagner (and others) off, but if history is any indication - you never know, really.
ORUp next: Ashley had some wine after a devastating evening---does she belong in rehab instead of Sochi??? Story at 10 Seriously the whole thing is ridiculous. Nationals is in the books, over, dunzo. I hope all the ladies skate their best and get the results they'd hoped for.
