2017 U.S. Nationals Championship Ladies FS

[NanaPat]

I'm sorry to have to say this but that was exactly what I expected. Better luck next season. The GOE on the pops is laughable. Really +GOE on a popped axel????

Maybe it was a really, really beautiful single axel. with good height and a running landing edge?

Gracie looks slow and tired. I think her problem is more physical. From my TV screen, she looks bigger than Mirai.

Who'd have thought Mariah Bell would beat Gracie's FS score by 20 points?

For that matter, who'd have thought Caroline Zhang of all people would beat Gracie's FS score?

 

[Kissx3]

Gracie needs to actually shake up her life. Don't just pay it lip service but actually do something. She's been on a rocket downhill for God knows how long now.

 

[Trewyn]

Oh no my stream stopped working!! (the nbc embed )

I just don't understand how Gracie can say that she thinks she's the best in the U.S. and that no one can stop her but herself, but then she gets on the ice with seemingly zero confidence. She's still in a funk over Worlds and I wish she would have skipped this season if it was still bothering her so badly. I hope she will take the rest of this season to mentally regroup and focus on what she wants for next season. Sad to see her so down and out of it.

I want to send a petition to NBC or USFSA and request that tara speak less. I hear her voice more than the music.

I tweeted them (@nbc & @nbcsports) earlier requesting the same thing.

aaaaannnnnnnnnnddddddddd, that's the last of the bottle
at least my teeth match the ladies' lips

 

[andromache]

SEE ANDROMACHE?! I'm not the only one who thinks Gracie looks like a sparkly nudist!

I like that she looks like that! It goes with the theme of the program!

GET A NEW COACH GRACIE.

Apparently she said she feels like she needs to mess up the house that is her skating and just totally rebuild it. I think she's right. She needs a totally clean slate.

I love Gracie to death but if USFS puts her on the Worlds team it's a major, major mistake, not only for the Worlds team but for Gracie's mindset. She needs to experience this disappoint and let it turn her into a fighter.

 

[tulosai]

OMG she IS behind Zhang

 

[ruffledgrouse]

LOL Johnny going in

"can't compete on a world level"


DAAAAYUM

Terry: What do you do to regroup? What do you change?
Johnny: BURN DOWN THE HOUSE AND BUILD A NEW ONE

 

[kresslia]

johnny is killing me here

he's going in @ gracie every chance he gets rofl

 

[NAOTMAA]

This is surely the last time we see Frank Carroll sitting in the kiss and cry with Gracie. If its not then good lord :eeking:

 

[invisiblespiral]

My stream died.

 

[Mrs. P]

Well, live and learn.

 

[bytheriver]

I wish the cameras wouldn't focus on Gracie's face. She looks like she wants to cry.

 

[nocturnalis]

I wish Gracie didn't have to skate and she could just take pictures of beaches with Carly.

 

[da96103]

Gracie is behind Zhang and Bell!

 

[ranjake]

aaaaannnnnnnnnnddddddddd, that's the last of the bottle
at least my teeth match the ladies' lips

I just started and I blame Gracie Gold

 

[mrrice]

Thank gawd I know about this ahead of time. I will be skipping Gracie when this event plays here tonight. I'm a bit sad but, I'm not surprised that Gracie skated this way. It will either crush her, or it will light a HUGE fire under her to work harder and prepare for the Olympic Season. I don't think Frank's heart can take much more of the roller coaster that Gracie's career has put him through this season.
