Gracie has point blank said that 2018 will be her last season and Ashley has hinted at it. Both these women kept USA in the mix at international events. Winning grand prixs, winning medals at worlds, winning short programs at worlds( ) , winning national titles, winning gpf medals etc etc. The other US top ladies have not really been in the medal mix. Polina and Mirai come to mind. Mariah recently made a splash at SA but has not placed higher than 6th at nationals.Can she really be a threat to top russian and japanese ladies? She also is already 20. Meaning she probably will not stay longer than 4 more years. So who can keep the U.S. ladies..well...relevant? Or will the US ladies become irelevant once Ashley and Gracie retire?
