Heck, Yuzu's world record skate was 3 quads. Of course Yuzu excels in other areas as well which helped a lot. Apparently he's also the TS at our FS club here in NY :grin: What does TS mean? As for the clip with Adam....

May 8, 20179 yr Just my thoughts, but I think Frank saw Gracie's problems were bigger than skating. He's had experience being unable to help someone struggling in the past (Christopher Bowman). Not that he was necessarily the best person to help her anyway. I hope she finds the best situation for herself.

I hope she finds the best situation for herself. It's very possible but the way he handled it afterwards was not right in my book. In general, I think it's actually very fair to be honest about things like these. Not all coaches can coach all students; even if they have numerous Olympic gold medalists it doesn't mean they'd be an ideal fit for everyone. Especially if we're talking about struggling mentally with some aspects of the skate, or even off ice. But as I said, how they parted was not pretty and I am sure did not help Gracie one bit. Fingers crossed she is in a good place now, at least from the few photos I've seen she looks happier so maybe the move to Marina helped in that most important thing. ______ On another note, I am both excited to see Jason's Hamilton and wondering how that'll pass with international audience.
May 8, 20179 yr Oh my that gala perf was painful to watch. I couldn't continue after 20 secs I know there's still some time before the season starts for Gracie to make some adjustment but.. as of now her chances are looking slimmer and slimmer
May 8, 20179 yr Even if there was time, it is not an overnight process to get back into shape, get all jumps back, and get good consistency on them in time to go to Nationals and make a case for herself. I suspect that we'd need to see progress now. She didn't get like this because she was injured and couldn't skate.

May 8, 20179 yr This is Mirai's chance...if she doesn't take it, then......well, she never will. Now I think it's gonna be Mirai - Ashley - Karen next year. Poor Gracie. I don't think anyone saw this coming after before last season.
