Thanks moon vine
I wonder why she’s there, and not back in Aston,PA

They weren’t at her rink. They were at Skate America promoting her book. I think they would have to be crazy to promote something they haven’t read. But maybe they are crazy.

I tried to get info on the PT but as I said the young skater who trains at that rink is too intimidated to speak to her. So the best info I have at this time is that she is currently still in CS and has been since at least August. She is either doing PT or training. She is still on the ISP list but has not qualified to Nationals. She is scheduled to skate at Scott Hamilton’s benefit show next month. That is all I know.

Scott Hamilton's benefit show is less than 2 weeks away on Sun, Nov 19.

B/c COS is where they do all of the orthopedics and such for Team USA skaters, since it's the headquarters of USFS.

If Gracie wants to keep working in the sport, she will not trash in that way. More likely she will focus on the intense pressures and image problems, and what it does to young women. At least, I hope she goes into this, it hopefully helped her to write it and may help others to read it.

I mean as far as I’m concerned she’s already trashed them. She was known to be abusing laxatives. That should have been enough right there. She was told to tell the public she was in inpatient psychiatric treatment for ED when it was suicidal ideation because ED is “more palatable.” And apparently there was sexual abuse too?

Yes and no. It will depend on how she - and her editor, presumably - tell it, I don't want to preempt. Let's wait and see (and the people at Skate American were handing out cards? they may not have read it remember, just seeing it as another excuse for free 'US skating star!!' publicity.)

Whatever it is, I hope it does well for her.

We will all find out in February. I’ve preordered the audiobook.

Gracie is no longer doing the Scott Hamilton benefit. Or if she is, her name is no longer on the list.

I went to the Bridgestone Arena website and she is listed. Is there some other source that you have?

She's injured and rehabbing it in Colorado, which means she's more than likely not in the show. If she can't compete, she can't do shows either.

Thank you for that information. She’s been rehabbing for a while. I wonder if it’s a hip. Frustrating not giving your fans even a little tidbit.

Wishing her the best recovery. The injury seems to have been severe.

Tbh I wasn´t expecting her to come back since we havn´t heard all season, but it seems like she feels she is not done yet, and i´m happy she wants to come back on the ice and seems to be in good spirits!

wishing her a quick and full recovery! poor Gracie. i hope she enjoys the holidays and makes a strong return when she's ready.

I think it's to promote her book.

I think it's to promote her book.

That’s likely. I wasn’t sure if maybe she was going do commentating or something since she’s not competing. I certainly pre-ordered months ago. Can’t believe we’ll get the book in a few weeks.!

 

[moonvine]

Will anyone be at Nationals to give her flowers for me? I could probably drive there just for that but it’s a long way…
