Only having 1 GP spot is not going to cut it for her Olympic season.
Thanks for explaining that. Did you see the video posted by TSL? I was watching something else and saw it posted. The comments were so hateful. I don't get why there is such hate out there - for what reason, what has she ever done to these people? I guess it's just a sad example of this crazy world. Anyways I commented which I don't ever do - but just couldn't stop myself. Thank god this season is over. She will be okay and I truly hope she does whatever is right for her.

Can anyone make an imaginary layout that would allow Gracie to not use the flip? It's probably going to be like Yuna's layout but since it's basically her Achilles heel, I'm wondering if it would work better.
Excellent points. I didn't watch whatever the latest one is, the one I watched was the interviews after the long and it was obvious to me that she was trying not to cry, amazing strength in her. You know I didn't even watch the long programs. It was a mistake to comment though; the backlash is too much for me. I need to stop posting and reading. I don't have Gracie's strength! I hope you continue to love skating and support the skaters. :agree:
After finally having a bit of a break from school work, here's what I formulized.
(Please correct me if anything is wrong!)
Short:
1. the double as a starting jump
2A
----
3Lz-3T
3Lo
2. using a 3Lz-3Lo
*Okay this is likely impossible but her loop is one of best jumps that it could warrant being in a combo. This is probably for the dreams.
3Lz-3Lo
----
3S
2A
Long:
I'm not going to propose any layouts but this would what her jump content will be like:
3Lz-3T, 3Lo, 3S, 2A, 3Lz-2T-2Lo, 3Lo-2T, 2A
This won't allow her to do another 3T combo but the way 3F is an impenetrable wall for her, I really think she should stay away from it for now to gain back confidence. If she works on her stamina, she can move a lot of her jumps in the second half to gain more points.
^that would have her Zayaking the 3T though
I only see one triple toe in your layout, she can do two.
But in @sunnystar's layout Gracie would do two triple loops and lutzes so she can't do another triple toe. But I still think that she should have flip in her program. Right now it's impossible for someone to miss jump like Yuna could.
