Gracie had an “inspirational” performance last year

All eyes were on Gracie Gold at the 2022 US Figure Skating Championships as her performance marked the first time she had competed in a flawless short program since 2014, according to USA Today.

After her three-minute performance of “East of Eden” at the Bridgestone Arena in Tennessee, Gold received a score of 67.61, and while she may not have won, her performance was “as practiced” and an inspiration to others.

“I was just blown away that I really did everything you could ask for,” she told the Post after her performance, adding, “I’ve built a whole career in shorts with national teams and it’s not for lack of training. “

“…As far as I was concerned, every jump went up, we turned, and we came down as practiced,” she continued.

Overall, Gold finished sixth behind Isabeau Levito and Lindsay Thorngren, according to NBC Sports.
