Same! That was the first thing that came up to me. But sometimes, these files can be wrong. The ISU isn’t always tech-friendly and they’re bad at reading the skater’s handwriting (skaters review and edit their layout when they check into accreditation).
Yep. The three jump combo is likely meant to be 3S, 2t, 2lp.

3Ltz-3T was her most comfortable combo in the past, I am proud of her for getting it back.

I think what we can gather from the layout is the jump she doesn't have back at the moment is the 3Loop. I don't expect her to be nailing everything this outing but I am so proud of her for getting far enough to be planning a layout like she is. I expected it to be way more watered down.

I’d love to see Gracie do really well and blow up my predictions. My ladies predictions have been a complete wreck anyway! What’s one more week of the same? :handw:
Her coach is Vincent Restencourt.
No, you won't see Jeremy in Russia this weekend, but may see him with Gracie at Nationals in Detroit.
So Vincent is her main/only coach. As a remember it he was all about jumps when he competed. Which is of course good for Gracie's jump training. I suppose she practises other elements with other people though. I hope she see's Jeremy often on the ice. Vincent + Jeremy sounds like a good combo

There are a few approaches to Gracie that can be taken. One who cares the girl is skating and hopefully for herself and good for her. Also, she is still growing and improving so dont think this is the end product and then there is a perspective it is sad to see a skater regress and have to restart (though on the more positive side you could say rebuild (potato potato yada yada yada.
it doesnt matter what people think; I really hope Gracie can get some satisfaction and I also hope she realizes skating should not complete her as a person. Winning or losig is not everything.

Excited to see the 3-3 is there.
Confused by lack of 3Lo, as that was always a better jump for her than 3F. But it but be causing her issues for whatever reason, unfortunately.
Also concerned by the number of -2Ts. Could be they are willing to take the hit on it now in preparation for making one of them a -3T later and upgrading that solo 3T to a 3Lo. Don’t know. Hopefully the three jump combo ends in a 2Lo instead though.

oh wow, this is way more than i was expecting. she must be farther along than some of us thought. i just hope she feels confident in doing these layouts, and that she's not pushing herself to do difficult content too early.

Just watched her practice via a twitter feed. She landed some nice triples, but also popped several jumps and omitted several from her fs run through. But just so glad to see her skate again.

thanks for sharing this article! i'm so glad she's in a good place, exploring life and is happy.
her thoughts on her future were interesting. i totally get what she's saying about the technical content that's basically required now to be on the podium, and whether or not it's worth a comeback when she wasn't the most technically gifted skater. but i also hope she takes the Carolina route and comes back just to keep giving something special to skating, even if that means less medals. Ashley could easily and successfully go down that path as well, and i hope she does, because i have really missed her presence this year :sad21:

It just makes me so happy to see her out there. And I love this music. The jumps will come with time. This is the first, very early, stop on her comeback trail. There’s nothing to judge here. People should just appreciate the journey.

I just want to take a moment to 
that Gracie is at her GP event, she is practicing, she has programs and plans a 3-3 in each program.
:taunt: to everyone who thought she would withdraw.
She might not skate clean and she might not medal and she might make a lot of mistakes, but it's all part of the process! I just want to see a happy Gracie and I'm so thrilled we get to see her on competitive ice again.

It is wonderful to wake up this morning to so much good news about Gracie! Her layout is such a happy surprise, and I teared up a bit watching her practice. She is skating with a lot of soul. Thank you to everyone who is posting updates.
