Gracie's statement:
“My passion for skating and training remains strong. However, after recent struggles on and off the ice, I realize I need to seek some professional help and will be taking some time off while preparing for my Grand Prix assignments. This time will help me become a stronger person, which I believe will be reflected in my skating performances as well.”
- She withdrew from the Japan Open but hasn't withdrawn from her Grand Prix events yet.
- Gracie has been tanning left and right since the 2016 World Championships in Boston where she was the favorite to win and didn't even get a medal.
- She called herself "overweight" last season and threw her TeamUSA warmup jacket in the trash. Legendary coach Frank Carroll practically fired her. She's said she struggles with motivation. Her father's medical license was suspended for prescription drug abuse.
- Gracie was planning on skating to "People" by Barbra Streisand for her short program and the ballet "La Bayadere" for her long program.
