I think it's going to take someone new like a Ting Cui to get US Ladies back on track. It's obvious the older Senior Ladies just aren't good enough. It took new blood like Gracie to help get that 3rd spot back but that was made easier having someone like Ashley who made her way up the standings and was a top 4 skater in the World by the time Gracie came along.. Gracie was an explosive talent and judges loved her and she was good enough in her first Worlds to finish top 6 in a loaded field. It was a perfect storm that came together with Ashley/Gracie that put the US Ladies back on the map. Bradie did all she could to finish as high as she did but no one else in the US is good enough to finish top 8 in the world right now. As a group including Bradie they need to get better.Ting Cui will be old enough too
