She came out with a different mindset tonight, I could see it on warmup. Also had great speed and stamina, hit everything pretty much, and I think that is the first time I've seen her do that since she decided to return.

And leads the competition by in excess of 13 points. And I invite anyone who thinks she no longer wants to skate to watch it.

And the magicMore important for me, even, than Gracie's scores. (and yes, I watched some ladies' skating)
She looked happy. She had a real, genuine, unforced smile on her face throughout the skate.

This is true. She was probably nervous is her first senior competition, too. However, the judging at Warsaw cup was also incredible weird. Very obvious UR were ignored from other skaters including the leader and yet Lindsay got 3F edge call, 3Lzq+3T<. I'm not saying these calls were wrong but the inconsistency was very strange. It felt like the technical panel was either tossing a coin to determine who got technical calls or was playing favorites.
Lindsay and the two Finnish skaters had the best skates of the event whatever the scores show...

Truly it was a beautiful moment in skating and like our friend El Henry, I don’t care for ladies skating as a rule. Watching it unfold in real time was wonderful and may I say, I felt that the monthly charge for Peacock was entirely justified this time around

I would love nothing more than to come back to skating. This women's event has inspired me more than ever.
Gracie posted that on Twitter almost 4 yrs ago. I'm so proud of her! I am a bit surprised that it really has taken 4 yrs for her to come back to full form but just wow!!

Peacock. I don’t believe it‘s anywhere else.
You might have seen the glow depending on where you are located. It lit up the eastern seaboard. You can see the SP on Peacock replay or perhaps they'll be a YouTube.

Sadly, I don't have access to Peacock. I'll have to wait until someone can post the video. However, I'm so happy to hear that Gracie not only skated well but, she had a good time doing it. No matter what, I'm so proud and happy for Gracie.

I watched the skate, there was an UR on both of her jumps in the combination. I do still think she has the capability of being a medal threat for Nationals, the errors were uncharacteristic for her. We'll see how she does in the FS in a few days. My cheerleading for Lindsay comes from the fact she has improved her TES difficulty YOY with decent consistency, unlike Amber/Karen both of who are doing virtually the same layout as the last Olympic season.

If you are in the US, Peacock does offer a 7 day free trial; you can cancel afterwards. Just saying!

I don't think I've ever seen Gracie smile that much. And while I'm not a proponent of reading into athletes' facial expressions or assigning value to whether a smile is better than a serious face during competition (especially for women), it was really good to see her so happy.

This tweet reminded me that the last time she skated this well, Obama was president.
