If you look at results rather than public perception, the gap between Ashley Wagner and Gracie Gold is similar, if not greater, than the one between Mao Asada and Akiko Suzuki. Gold's last win at any level of competition was when she became the junior national champion at the same time that Wagner won her first national title (2012). Since then, Wagner has won 4CC, three grand prix events, and another national title, and has won a number of other medals, including at the most recent GPF. In that same time frame, Gold has two GP medals and two senior B medals. Wagner is clearly the more successful international skater at this point.I don't really think you're right, Ashley has no results that could be called really successfull. Yes, she was definitely #1 before this day but the gap between her and Gold is not so huge as in Japan between Mao and others.
