Gracie Gold improves at Four Continents, misses podium
U.S. champion Gracie Gold rebounded from her worst short program in three years, jumping four places to finish fifth at the Four Continents Championships in Taiwan on Saturday.
“I feel OK about it,” Gold said. “It was a respectable performance, and at least the quality of what I did was nice.”
Japanese World silver medalist Satoko Miyahara won the competition, a World Championships tune-up absent of the top Russians, with 214.91 points, a personal best.
Gold scored 178.39 points, staying on her feet in the free skate after falling twice in her short program Thursday.
