KANSAS CITY — The worst season of Gracie Gold‘s career appears to be over. Are changes ahead? Not even Gold can say.

Gold finished sixth at the U.S. Championships on Saturday, her first time outside the top two in five nationals appearances. She is likely to be left off the world championships team for the first time when it is announced Sunday.

Gold, who was fifth after the short program Thursday, left revolutions out of multiple jumps in her free skate, though she did not fall in either program. NBC Olympics analysts Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir both called it disastrous.
