Title: Gracie Gold on Leno ..

Anyone see her last night?  She was so engaging and articulate and quite comfortable with the camera…. and she juggles for concentration before she competes!  Good for figure skating ….

Just watched it on YouTube. I'm so jealous that she got to sit next to the incredibly handsome Mark Harmon...

I liked her story about her first time skating. It really is important for newbies to see skaters up close and personal...

That was my exact story - birthday party age 9 … only I lacked the talent, dedication, financial support … to get past Prelim~!

I didn't see the interview but I knew the story of how she started skating-cause that's my rink!  One of my friends was her neighbor when they lived here.  And it's kind of funny because I had heard quite a while ago around the rink that she had started here, etc. but my friend just recently made the connection.  They had moved away before we started skating so I've never met her or anything exciting like that.

She's really nice except on the ice.  ON the ice, look out, she owns it.  She used to train here before LA   8)
