Gracie has had several solid wins in her career. And, she has been in the public eye in media on some good issues. Amber just has never put much together. No great competitions aside from a US silver. Not surprising she isn't followed all that much.One thing I found funny is that Gracie causes a lot of debate on these message boards and Twitter. Should she be getting assignments, should younger skaters be getting them, etc, etc. But then she skates well at practice and literally everyone only talks about her. I am an Amber fan, and thought she skated a very nice short today but other than a few little mentions, she hasn’t been talked about. Also, Isabeau wasn’t even at practice and it barely got a mention. Everywhere I turn, it’s Gracie. Now, I am a huge Gracie fan, and have been since when she was a Juvenile skater so I am totally okay with this. I just find it amusing that she can cause so much chatter. She got the loudest applause behind Kaori today!
Oh I don’t disagree with you. I just find it amusing bc people get very upset when Gracie is assigned to things, saying she’s too old, not like her former self, etc. and yet here we are and she is for sure being the most talked about US Skater on social media. I’ve said it since the summer, with no real standouts (minus Isabeau who already has 2 GPs) and Gracie skating fairly well, USFS is smart to send her to events and make sure she gets to Nationals. She is a name people remember, she has tons of fans and she generates buzz. That is sorely lacking In US Figure Skating right now.Gracie has had several solid wins in her career.

Just woke up. Queen Deanna and her partner looked FABULOUS. Now watching Alexa and Brandon.Is anyone here? Someplace else?
After watching the first group of pairs practice, I have a smile on my face. The Canadian girl, Kelly Ann, is adorable.
I am crushed that my already favorites, Anastasia and Danylo, had to WD. On the upside, I've never yet been a fan of Morkhova/Morkhov,
but I really enjoyed them today.
The real jump in my estimation is Valentina and Maximiliano. Last year, I think they showed promise. This morning, I sensed a huge leap in their confidence level, and I really enjoyed their practice. West Side Story helps too@ !! but I feel like this team did what fans are always begging skaters to do.
Valentina and Max stepped up. In every way: performance, taking command of the ice. Lovely!
I'm so excited for you! (and envious too) .... Enjoy!I'm here. At home, I will be at the rink around 6.

I'm seriously trying to keep calm here. I already have a ton of respect for Gracie making this comeback. However, my main thrill will be to see her smiling that beautiful smile of hers.She's 'just...I can't even. I cannot even. I may never be able to even again. OK I've seen what I came here for, sleepy time.
