U.S skater Gracie Gold clarified comments she made about her weight in an Instagram post on Sunday morning. Gold had spoken negatively of her physique at Skate America to reporters the previous night.
"To all my fans and friends. Thank you for the concern you have voiced. My comments in the mixed zone were spoken in the heat of emotion. To clarify, I feel that my results this far in the season are a result of my decision to live a more 'normal life' this past summer. I traveled and really took time off from being an elite athlete.
