This is NOT true about Gracie. I don't know where THIS rumor got started that "once she got home she told anyone who would listen she 'coulda gone' to 4CC". That's totally not what happened. Gracie and her team were told she would be considered for Senior International events this season depending on the outcome of Senior Ladies (ie if it was a splat fest and there was low quality skating, they would consider it) and that they wouldn't immediately name her to the JW team until Senior Ladies was over. From the moment she won Junior Ladies, her team began preparing mentally (and then in practice) to meet the RWB's (and were actually looking forward to that from comments made in the press and around the rink). The comment that "All age eligible ladies will be considered for all events" was tweeted by the President of USFS, so maybe someone has turned *THAT* tweet around to make it seem as if Gracie were full of herself. Of all the talented skaters I've been around at my rinks over the years, Gracie is one of the LEAST likely to behave like that.
