I’ve been at events all week and for sure women’s long has been the most well attended event. I think a lot does have to do with Gracie (though not all). I was sitting around a bunch of locals and when looking at the starting order sheet many of them pointed out Gracie’s name as one they recognized. A few recognized Mariah as well.
You are giving Gracie way too much credit. It is great that she has gotten to the point where she could skate again, but to say she was the big draw is way off base. Especially since it was highly unlikely she was going to win.
And frankly, I was not impressed with her interviews with Andrea Joyce. Too much woo is me. Many watch Nationals no matter who is skating but the big draw has to be the little 14 years old who always has a smile on her face and is not afraid to go for the Gold.
