2023 U.S. Nationals Sr. Women's Free Skate

[Princessroja]

Oh Gracie, please don't look so sad!! It's only a few pops! We love you!

 

[GGFan]

It's so weird to see the lutz betray Gracie. She fought and she continues to improve. More speed and attack than last year.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Oh Gracie lack of combos is going to wreck her score Lutz really wasn't happening tonight for her

 

[YuBluByMe]

Gold doesn’t give up like she was before, but she still doesn’t have the mentality to fight for the combos.

 

[CellarDweller]

This may not have been the skate she wanted, but it's an improvement over what's she's done in the recent past.

She should be very proud of herself. Both her programs showcased her artistry, and she showed she's a fighter.

 

[moonvine]

Skating Gods, why do you hate me so? But she didn’t melt down like she did last year. Baby steps. And she didn’t fall..but those pops…

 

[purplecat]

Gosh, not a lutz day for Gracie - which is her signature jump, sigh. Still so great to see her out there!

 

[EdgeCall]

Gracie popped three jumps. But I don't know how she did it, it was a treat for the eyes.

 

[nickp91]

Gracie FOUGHT til the END on that!!!

 

[yesterday]

Oh Gracie, please don't look so sad!! It's only a few pops! We love you!

Yes, 3 pops and 2 missed combos. Lots of points sadly

 

[Seven Sisters]

Yes they are my spirit animals. I would so rock one of those.

I see them! The one in the silver sequins is wearing shades, which seems like a sensible choice

 

[Minz]

Ok - you could see her upset after the 2 toe, but also, she was hitting her right hip at the end

 

[moonvine]

Oh God no. I’m done.

 

[msteach3]

Tough wait in the K&C for Gracie

 

[Kris135]

I do not know why the hell they only gave the women less than one day between the SP and the FS!! They are tired.

I agree they looked exhausted which is not good. I mean really could they have scheduled the women's short program on Wednesday night. I understand that maybe junior ice dance would had to have been over to Thursday night but so what. To expect that someone is going be on two nights in row is unfair. This is not allowing the women show at their best. Even now Gracie ran out of gas. I do not care if NBC wants it this way for ratings it simply unfair and skewing the results in a bad way now.

 

[YuBluByMe]

Aight Thorngren! Let’s go!

 

[yelyoh]

Into third probably. Same pop issues but great spins. Not bad really. Top nine.
