That opening jump didn't look to be done with much confidence or certainty and then followed by a fall on the second....oh no! Gracie critics start poking their heads out already...

gah, she's so close to the boards. Why hasn't this problem been addressed?

They have been working on it. The Skating Lesson did an interview with Gracie recently and she talked about how she changed the set up a bit... but its still a problem. I think it's a mental thing.

Skaters usually do that so wrong edges might hopefully not be caught by the judges but unfortunately Gracie has the problem of big jumps and it ends up not working for her. Its a no win for her

Mariah. Nancy Kerrigan vibe for the 21st century. Light, fawn-like jumps. What a moment for her. Hope this builds her confidence for an exciting season ahead.

Why is it that Gracie skates with a ton of speed but can never carry any flow out of her jumps?
