Gracie Gold

[fleeting]

Is Gracie a natural blonde, or is she really a brunette like her twin sister. I was wondering after seeing the pictures in the link you posted.

Her eyebrows and roots appear darker, so I'd say she dyes it blonde?

Gracie is a beautiful girl, but they applied too much photoshop on her. She looks pretty enough without all that photoshop.

She does dye her hair (I believe her natural hair color is more darker blond (see her photo in this photo gallery from 2012: http://web.icenetwork.com/gen/photogallery/year_2012/month_01/day_25/cf26467110.html), which I actually prefer), but I believe she and Carly are fraternal twins, so hence do not look alike.

Good luck for the SP!

i see possible scenario on her route to gold medal

2014 Worlds - silver
2015 Worlds - gold
2016 Worlds - gold
2017 Worlds - gold

Something isn't adding up? If its Gracie's gold(ugh) to lose then you must be willing to flip flop on a weekly basis. I mean nothing has happened since you posted this a little over a week ago that I can think of. I've noticed you've given up on Yulia too. What gives?

Shall I just assume Gracie is a lock for five of the next four World Championships?

Once Cinquanta gets rid of the SP, perhaps it can be replaced with a beauty pageant component. This will ensure Gracie gets six of the next four World titles; if not seven.

I dunno, she's got Anna Pogorilaya to contend with...

Anna who?

It's like you haven't even read this thread. Or any of sky_fly's musings.

If we combine Gracie and Ashley, we'll have a super blonde barbie figure skater with sassy artistic expression and huge 3-3

We could also rename her Ashley Goldbody !

Gracie scores an impressive 70+ for the first time

You are not saying she was underscored anymore?

Say that to Mao's face and see what she tells you

a 7 point lead is beatable
but we cannot deny Gracie is now amongst the most consistent skaters out there

probably the most impressive upwards record trend from the new comers

Gracie scores an impressive 70+ for the first time and is in a gold medal position

How? She is in 5th place, 8 points out of 1st place and 4 points out of 3rd place. She has about a 1% chance at the podium, considering the skaters who finished ahead of her (Mao and Carolina have much higher PCS; Julia has better consistency.)

 

[Silvia451]

Her jumps are huge.
I think it's a good score. She deserved her points, but the other skaters were impressive today.(not a big fan of Julia, though..)

Gracie has been skating consistently too since Nationals
she is a podium threat and has a chance for the gold medal

I think a more realistic perspective would be that she has an outside chance at a podium finish. 4 points out of 3rd, but, like Olympics, must rely on mistakes from top 3 to sneak in there. Unfortunately I think she's looking at another 4th place finish (sigh, whatever).

 

[sky_fly20]

but I still like Julia too
if you mean allegiance, I am not an uber thus being fickle is part of FS

good luck to all in FS especially to Gracie
the haters will finally shut up if she can put up a strong FS

 

[redfiretrees]

I think it's great that she's working on her consistency and that she looks more relaxed and not tense. Her 3+3 were huge but her 3Lo and 2A were lacking in height than usual. Hope her jumps are better in the FS and that she'll be able to skate lights out so that she'll move up to 4th place (3rd place is a bit out of reach unless Yulia falters which seems unlikely) and prove that she deserves to be placed higher than the other skaters.
