Gracie Gold

[macy]

I'm pretty sure you can still buy one. I'm on the fence because I like to watch unspoiled and I am not always able (the spirit is strong, the flesh is weak) to watch live. Is she in Russia yet? I'm terrified every day I'm going to open up the forums and see she's withdrawn.

i'm sure she is by now. hopefully someone is nice enough to give practice reports!

And I'm stalking every site I can think of to get any info. But I did really like her preview from usfs. I was excited to see that.

I am so glad she has a friend like Jeremy in her corner. It seems like the entire US skating community has been behind her through her hard times, I am so glad she has the right support.

Planned layouts is out! Gracie seems like she is more confident with her flip now!

SP: 3Lz+3T, 3F, 2A
FS: 3Lz+3T, 3F, 3S, 2A, 2A+2T, 3T, 3S+2T+2T (no loop, 2A+3T, and a second 3Lz, might change)

Is she allowed to jump three 2T? Until last year I know she wasn't. I checked the other layouts and nobody else has 3 2T, maybe because they all have 3-3 or 2A-3t planned, except Yura Matsuda who has only 2 combinations planned, both with 2T, so she hasn't a third 2T.

Her planned layout is much more difficult than I expected to be honest! I'm hoping she isn't trying to do more than she can handle at the moment (as it's her first competition back), but kudos to her for taking up the challenge. I'm all for a surprise podium with Gracie on it, but what's more important is that she performs to her own standards and eases herself back for future competitions.

The ISU might have inputed it wrong. They aren’t tech-friendly and are prone to these mistakes.

I want to wish Gracie all the best for her upcoming competition! I hope she takes it easy and enjoys being back on the ice <3

Beautiful song! :luv17: I'm ready to cry my eyeballs out.

 

[princessalica]

There were some beautiful jumps in there. No, everything wasn't perfect, but so excited to watch her skate.

 

[doublequad]

not bad

 

[ayame]

Wow, I REALLY enjoyed that! The way she carries herself looks much more mature and relaxed than before, I didn't expect that but good for her

Go, Gracie!
