Elyce LIN-GRACEY (USA) | Women Short Program | Skate Canada International 2024 | #GPFigure

Representing the United States of America, Elise Lynn Gracie. Now she's got to put the disappointment of last week behind her. She was 6th in Skate America and she was... Much better on the double axel. Well that is a real pity. Mind games perhaps. Remember at the end of the 6 minute warm up she went for that combination and she didn't make the triple toe on the end of the triple lutz. I just wonder if that was playing on her mind going into it here in this short program. She showed us didn't she? She's made of tough. She can do such a gorgeous triple flip in the second half of the program there and not let her head drop. That showed real character. There's no doubt about the rotation on that. Fantastic edge quality in the set sequence. I'm not looking at that again. They've given it a 3. I thought it was a 4. Now we're at level 4. Elisa Lu a teammate in the lead at the moment and she would love to have been challenging the first spot. It's not going to happen I don't think. I imagine that it is. Could she go into second place? 67, 68 the target. 58, 64 and in second place for Elisa Lu Gracie. We'll have to see how things pan out. Remember we've got 6 skaters still to go. That's how the top 5 stand going into the final group.
