From the pictures it looks like Gracie Gold is in Edea Ice Fly. They're a very distinctive design so are easy to spot.

And everyone who won an Olympic medal was in either John Wilson or MK blades according to their website.

Gracie Gold is definitely in the Ice Fly, adn she and Ashley Wagner both skate on Pattern 99 blades.  I am pretty sure Ashley wears Graf boots.  Polina Edmunds skates in Harlicks with Gold Seal blades.

Davis/White both wear Harlicks with MK Dance blades.

Both the John Wilson and MK websites have a "hall of fame", where they show famous skaters and what blades they use.

There are many different styles of blades - big toe picks, cross cut picks, higher or lower stanchions, 7' or 8' rockers... and they are all represented at the highest levels.

It looks like Jeremy Abbott is in Jackson boots (Elite Supreme Stiff) and Jackson Ultima Matrix 2 (probably either Supreme or Freestyle) blades.

I've seen a lot of Ultima blades on various skaters - I don't think that Wilson and MK have ALL the elite skaters anymore and the boots run the entire spectrum I think!

Gracie Gold is definitely in the Ice Fly, and she and Ashley Wagner both skate on Pattern 99 blades.

So the fitter who said my old Pattern 99 blades were too cheap to be any good might have been wrong?

He also misfit my custom boots, so maybe I shouldn't be too surprised.

Edit: Oops the ones he told me were too cheap were Coronation Ace. Sorry.

Despite not being on the Olympic Team this year, Mirai Nagasu wears Sp-Teri's .

Pattern 99 blades cost about $440. Where is that cheap?
