I agree. I wish her well. Hopefully with less pressure on her this year she can do what she really wants to do. I am not going to deny I had mixed feelings about her last year's attempt. I haven't followed everything but it is a bit confusing. Was Gracie really ready to compete with triples at Russia? Was showing up at Russia just a way to keep her in the running for Nationals because perhaps she knew she couldn't make it out of Regionals/Sectionals? Regardless hopefully she now has the opportunity to explore her come back and what she really wants. Life will go on for Gracie with or without competitive skating.
I think many of us are confused about Russia cause she didn’t have the triples. It seemed like she wanted the nationals bye from competing with the hopes of having more to show by nationals. It was her last chance to use her comeback clause? I think it might have been a good thing in the long run cause it seems to me like it was a wake up call on making sure she’s fully ready before going out again.
