This is such a bummer! I really like Bradie, and she seems to thrive on competing early + often in the season. I hope she recovers in time for Skate America.
Do we know why Bradie dropped out? The ladies are bringing it. Liu, Karen, Mariah, Bradie, Hanna, and let's not forget those coming back like Polina and Gracie. Is it possible since we haven't seen a lot of Gracie that she is getting ready to take back her national title? I mean she has had over a year planning this come back. She seems to still have her performing skills.
If you go check out @itscoachvincent on instagram, he's posting all kinds of videos about Gracie, including 3-3's, triples, double axel combinations, and even a triple axel on a harness. Our queen is returning.
Karen was indeed “on” at the Philadelphia competition, hope she keeps that spark for the US Classic (especially since she should now be in classes at Cornell). :agree:
