This was such a well-skated event! I want to be excited, but the overscoring of Gold has ruined it for me. I was terrified this would happen, but knew it would. If Gracie is clean, she will win. She does not have the best components. She is such a wooden and robotic skater with no real expression. It's a joke.
I am so happy for Anna, though. There is such an intensity in her work. It's a slow burn, full of such maturity and elegance for a young woman of only 17. She is mesmerizing on the ice. IMO she did everything better than Gold and should be in first place.
Ashley was also incredible! I'm so happy for her, especially after some of the unfair criticism that has been lodged at her this week. I hope she can keep it together in the long program.
Zhenya is going to have to be perfect in the long and hope for Gold to make mistakes. Unfortunately, everyone does at this point.
