BTW is Jenny still involved with TSL?
No, Jenny moved on before last season. She went back to school

The only video I saw of Gracie, from Sun Valley, was of her doing an axel/half loop/double salchow. The sal was a bit wobbly, but clean... but she did the combination in REVERSE rotational direction! Obviously just having some fun.I'm not familiar with Sun Valley, but I don't see how that can be anything other than a warmup. It's broad daylight, there are other skaters using the ice, she appears to be marking the jumps.
I think her arms look good, and she's moving better then she did on SOI.
Frankly, she and Polina and anyone else who isn't 90% by the start of the GP should use the fall to practice, then hopefully get some later CS comps or other small internationals.
I think people need to chill out.
Ummm HELLO!!! (as the kids used to say) . . . I saw the footage using links from Golden Skate. Those labored jumps from Gracie were OPPOSITE DIRECTION JUMPS. There was nothing anyone could tell either way about her fitness.
It is interesting to note that Gracie actually looked like she was having fun, which was refreshing to see. Yep, refreshing to see a skater have fun.

I think these were part of a warm-up, (Sun Valley clips), with all the other people on the ice, and the person posting it even said it wasn't from the show. In other words, the singles were probably intentional. That being said, does she look in top competitive shape? No. But I would like TSL to post their sources. If they can't name names, then say that they got it from an official, or that its just their own speculation. Not saying it's not true, but the tweet just came out of nowhere.
That would be kind of an unnecessary move on the part of the USFSA. If they didn't want her on the team, then she should go to Sr B's. If she does not do well, at any of her events, then they have the appropriate justification to say....you're not on the team. And SHE has the result that could light a fire to get back in shape, or decide if she wants to continue. I think time is running out on her second chances though. NO shame in taking even more time to get into shape and try to finish her career on a high note next year, or even hanging the skates up. Wish her the best.
Would TSL put its reputation on the line????
I get people want to be defensive but no need to bite people's heads off when they're calling it like they see it. Again, it doesn't indicate what she may be capable of but people saw what they saw.
I didn't realize there was much of a reputation to even put on the line these days...Would TSL put its reputation on the line????
Does anyone have a video of the actual performance?
It's in the #TeamTrainwreck thread.
"superangiekatja@timpomares it was so incredible. She is absolutely the sweetest. She thought it was neat that I skate. She wanted to know how long etc. And then her Skating!! So smooth with incredible flow. Go check out the practice videos I put up."

What are you feeling like a jerk about? Were the tweets made up? Were you feeling guiltyOh God, I am the one who posted the TSL tweetsI am sorry everyone. I feel like such a JERK. #fail
Well, it is a "cheer" thread and so yes, after reading some of the comments, I realized this probably was not the appropriate thread for the sharing of gossip. Ugh. I hope people know I love Gracie thoughWhat are you feeling like a jerk about? Were the tweets made up? Were you feeling guilty
about posting something negative? Did you suddenly "get religion" about gossip? Gossip is so bad................and soo good.
This is a screen cap of the "Braided warrior princess" moment made by a fan: https://twitter.com/graciegold195/status/902337792939888640/photo/1On another note, Ashley's Instagram live has a realllly cute picture of Gracie and Adam, where Adam is holding up Gracie's braids (kind of like Pippi Longstocking), with the caption warrior princess. It's nice to see them having fun together.
@kittysk8ts, I know you didn't mean to start a chain of negative chatter (ditto the woman in Sun Valley who posted the Instagram clips).
It's when some people make assumptions/leap to conclusions based on these type of gossipy tweets and things like "it's no wonder USFS is pulling their support" are posted that cross the line for me.
